Bling Bling in the ATL

Its been hard for me to know what to say. Her funeral was loudly discussed on cable television.

It is a tribute to the first lady of the Civil Rights movement that a memorial of her life publicly shamed the most powerful man in the world.

But George W. Bush's shame is a side story. Last week, Atlanta took the day off, got on the bus after work, waited in line, braved the cold, with gratitude, sorrow and awe, to pay their respects to Mrs. King. Quietly, Atlanta concluded the first chapter of a movement that, in an everyday fashion, lives on.
