On Coretta Scott King

As part of remembering Coretta Scott King, we asked our patrons to share their thoughts on this great woman. Here are some of the many things people had to say.

I appreciate all that Mrs. King has done to help our country and for teaching us to learn to love one another. I'm saddened by her death. She will be truly missed.

The Dream: One Day!

Beside a very good man, is a great woman! Mrs. King is that virtuous woman!!

As a Wayne County school employee I have seen alot of changes over the year. Everyone deserves respect and love. She was a nice, respectful lady.

May her legacy continue through her children and others who believed as she has.

I don't really know her but I know she made a difference in the world we live in today!!!

What a full, wonderful life. A truly mythic figure.

One patron even shared a heart-felt poem dedicated to this legendary leader.

"Dreams"
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

We here at the Wayne County Public Library hope that these words resonate with all who read them and inspire others to follow in Mrs. King's footsteps.
