Her health dwindled after suffering a stroke in 2005 and struggling with ovarian cancer. Her body was flown from Mexico to the United States where she was carried through the streets of Atlanta by a horse-drawn carriage to the state capitol building where she was laid in state. After the death of her husband, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mrs. King continued the fight for civil rights until the day she passed. She founded the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta in 1968. She spoke on behalf of the Metropolitan Community Foundation supporting gay marriages, citing that a constitutional amendment banning this practice is against civil rights. spread her dreams of equality throughout the world, traveling , Asia, Europe and Africa on goodwill missions. In her travels, she met with the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela and Dorothy Day. The loss of a patriot: The world mourns the passing of In addition to her worldwide search for equality, Mrs. King strived for the recognition of a national holiday on the day of her late husbands birthday. Martin Luther King Jt. Day was signed into law in 1983 and went into effect in 1986. Throughout her life, Coretta Scott King saw the tragic loss of her husband and the realization of her husbands dream of a desegregated America. She survived a bomb attack in her home in 1956, studied in India with Gandhi and his interpretations of non-violent protest techniques and continued into today's civil rights protests. For her work and dedication, Mrs. King was inducted as a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority for her accomplishments among other great women such as Rosa Parks and Eleanor Roosevelt. Coretta Scott King is an American icon and will be missed. Her lifelong passion for civil rights will leave a trail of hope and equality in today's society and tomorrow's dreams. Im Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Ti By Rachel Mitchell + Wenewsmagazine I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired, is the famous quote said by Fannie Lou Hamer, a civil rights activist born on October 6, 1917, in Montgomery County, Mississippi. She lived a life harder than most people have ever dreamed, but her one desire was to be able to vote equally. Hamer was the youngest of twenty children. She and her family were shatecroppers and lived in some of the poorest surroundings. At age twelve, Hamer dropped out of schoo! to take a full-time job in order to help support her family. Once grown, she married another sharecropper by the name of Perry "Pap" Hamer, but by 1962 she had had enough of sharecropping. Her journey as a voting rights activist and civil rights leader began when she left her home, along with seventeen others. They all took a bus to the courthouse in Indianola after hearing Rev. James Bevel, an organizer of Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNC), say that all people had the constitutional right to vote. During the 1960s, Southern African-Americans were deterred from voting, especially in the South. When Hamer went to register to vote, she was asked to interpret the state's constitution as a test. Being unable to do so, she failed and was not allowed to register. On the bus trip home, she, along with the others, were arrested and pput in jail for their activist work. Once released from jail, the plantation owner gave her an ultimatum: either stop trying to register to vote or be exiled from her home of eighteen years. She left the same day. Ten days after leaving the plantation, 16 bullets were shot into the home of the family she had gone to stay with, but no one was injured. In 1963, she again attempted to register and passed the test. In order to further help, she became a secretary for SNC and traveled throughout the South. She was again arrested, and while jailed, she, along with others, were beaten by other prisoners who were being instructed by guards and one state highway policeman. She lay beaten and bleeding in her cell, listening to the screams of others. It took her almost a month to recover after the attack, but she continued her pursuit of civil rights. During the summer of 1964, the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, or Freedom Democrats, was assembled to challenge the all-white and anti-civil rights delegates in Mississippi's Democratic National Convention of that year. Hamer was elected vice-chair and drew attention to the Freedom Democrats efforts. In 1964 and 1965, she ran for Congress where she eventually was seated in the Democratic National Convention of 1968. In order for her to continue her work to help the poor of Mississippi, she founded the Freedom Farm Cooperative in 1969. The cooperative helped 55,000 people grow their own food and acquire their own land, She also covered the issues of school desegregation, child daycare and low-income housing and helped found the National Womens Political Caucus in 1972. Hamer died in 1977 of breast cancer at the age of 59.
