I think that was an appropriate time and place.
If political people want to make hay by "paying their respects" at the funeral of a woman who fought so long and hard against a system which tried to beat her back, they better have their helmets and flak jackets on. She remains a political force even in death.
Some might judge the war against oppression to be over, but I think we will look back in another 50 years and sadly acknowledge the quiet skirmishes in the closing years of the war. The battles have not all been won. There are still people who will judge you by the color of your skin or where you were born or what God you pray to. Do not become complacent. Those words were spoken because they need to be said.
