Coretta Scott King First Lady of The Civil Rights Movement (1927-2006)
A proclamation commemorating the life of Mrs. Coretta Scott King. Remember her as
one of the most graceful and influential civil rights leaders of our time. April 27,
1927 - January 30, 2006. A must read for all. Mrs. Coretta Scott King buried at the
Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Center in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Keeping in mind that the U. S. Government is already improving memorial sites around
the United States of America and the world, should the
King Family keep control of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center in Atlanta or let the
United States Government take control? Write your blog/dairy in your book!
Mrs. Coretta Scott King is the widow of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr..
The couple met in Boston, where Coretta Scott was studying voice at the New England
Conservatory of Music; they were married on 18 June 1953.
The family moved to Montgomery, Alabama and then to Atlanta as Dr. King became a
civil rights leader and a prominent public figure.
After Dr. King\'s assassination in 1968, Mrs. Coretta King established the King
Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta, Georgia, USA; she also supported the
establishment of a national holiday in honor of her husband,
an idea which became law in 1986. Coretta and Martin Luther King had four children:
Yolanda (born 1955), Martin Luther III (b. 1957), Dexter (b.1961), and Bernice
(1963).
In 1969 the American Library Association (ALA)
created the annual Coretta Scott King award to honor children\'s book authors and
illustrators of African descent. Mrs. Coretta Scott King demonstrated unwavering
dedication to the cause of social justice that she and her husband held dear. She
called upon America to stand up for its founding ideals and carried that message
across the world; now!
