Maya Angelou's Remarks at the Funeral Service for Coretta Scott King

Dr. Maya Angelou's Remarks at the Funeral Service for Coretta Scott King

Text Transcribed:
We owe something from this minute on; so that this gathering is not just another footnote on the pages of history. We owe something.

I pledge to you, my sister, I will never cease.

I mean to say I want to see a better world.

I mean to say I want to see some peace somewhere.

I mean to say I want to see some honesty, some fair play.

I want to see kindness and justice. This is what I want to see and I want to see it through my eyes and through your eyes, Coretta Scott King.
