Coretta Scott King's coffin placed in tomb
Reunited at last in death, Coretta Scott King was laid to rest beside the tomb of her husband after a stirring funeral with 10,000 mourners that was both lyrical and mournful, and at times political.
The interment yesterday concluded a day when four US presidents and more than three dozen speakers took turns remembering King for her efforts to realize the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream of equality for nearly 40 years after his assassination.
