Reverend Dr. Joseph Lowery:

Poverty abounds. For war billions more but no more for the poor." --at the Coretta Scott King funeral, in front of 3 former presidents and our current "president."

Former President Jimmy Carter:
"The efforts of Martin and Coretta have changed America; they were not appreciated even at the highest level of government.
