Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr then as his widow, then as an avid proselytizer for his vision of racial peace and nonviolent social change, died early today at Santa Monica Hospital, in Baja California, Mexico, near San Diego. She was 78. Mrs. King was admitted to the hospital last Thursday, said her sister, Edythe Scott Bagley.

She was a pretty woman. They will live on through their children. Rest In Peace, Mrs. King.
