Coretta Scott King Memorialized in Israel
Now here’s a very fitting memorial to Coretta Scott King.
Israel will name a forest in northern Galilee after Coretta Scott King as the country replants thousands of trees destroyed during last year’s war with Hezbollah.
The Coretta Scott King Forest, which will contain at least 10,000 trees, will be a living memorial to King’s legacy of peace and justice, Israeli Ambassador Sallai Meridor said Thursday at a Washington ceremony launching the initiative.
I may not agree with points in her politics, but she and Martin Luther King, Jr. certainly deserve to be honored, and this forest–one that is being reborn after a war–seems to me to be appropriate.
