    ATLANTA - Coretta Scott King, who turned a life shattered by her husband's assassination into one devoted to enshrining his legacy of human rights and equality, has died, former mayor Andrew Young told NBC Tuesday morning. She was 78.

    Young, who was a former civil rights activist and was close to the King family, broke the news during a phone call he made to the NBC "Today" show.

    Asked how he found out about her death, Young said, "I understand she was asleep last night and her daughter tried to wake her up."

    King had been recovering at home since suffering a stroke and heart attack in August.

    She was last seen in public when she made a surprise appearance at a fundraiser on what would have been her husband's 77th birthday earlier this month.

    She was a great and brave woman, she was the one that wanted to march, not her husband, I seen a story on TV today saying that MLK wanted to preach inside of the churches, she was the one that wanted to do the public protests and that was her idea!

    So she was the brains behind MLK......

    Coretta dedicated her whole life to the civil rights movement/struggle.

    She brought together a lot of people over her lifetime.

    We should all be grateful.

    I always say "Behind every great man, there's a great woman ... and behind every loser there's a broad that won't stop nagging". Anyways :D
    Two years ago for the first time I've seen the whole speeches held by Dr. King and was truly touched. May she rest in peace :)

    Our loss here on Earth no doubt, as a great American leaves our presence; but on a happier note, today a reunion after 40 years of separation took place.
