Statement of Senator Russ Feingold On the Passing of Coretta Scott King January 31, 2006 I join all Americans today in mourning the loss of Coretta Scott King, who bravely carried the torch of civil rights after the assassination of her husband, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Mrs. King’s courage and resilience inspired millions to never give up the dream of equality for all Americans. As we mourn the passing of Mrs. King, we must honor her life by ensuring that her message of peace and justice marches on.
