    Where did Coretta Scott King die?

    Though I was a foreigner, I eventually became a Senator, and one of the most beloved and respected members of my adopted city. My sister Julia was a bit of a poet; in fact a famous (and supremely powerful) couple, whom she often traveled with, liked one poem so much they had it carved into a centuries-old famous statue. I was known as a great patron of the arts, and sponsored for many years a great festival in my state. When I died, my sister and the residents of my city erected a momument/tomb in my honor, overlooking the site of those festivals. Who am I, and which ancient monument has my sister's poem carved in it?

    What was the first children's book to receive both the John Newbery Award and the Coretta Scott King Award?
