AMY GOODMAN: Reverend Bernice King, the daughter of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King also delivered remarks on behalf of her mother. Coretta Scott King recently suffered a stroke. This is Bernice King.
REV. BERNICE KING: She sparked a prairie fire that continues to blaze brightly in the hearts of freedom-loving people in all nations; and the non-violent revolution she set in motion continues to reverberate in nation after nation as an inspiration to human liberation movements everywhere. Rosa Parks provided us with a beautiful example of the power of one. How one courageous person can make a great difference in advancing human freedom. She showed us the power of humility and disciplined nonviolence in winning hearts and minds to support our freedom struggle; and she set for the entire world a vibrant example of African American womanhood fully engaged in the work of building a more just and decent society.
