Coretta Scott King
Coretta Scott King was an American author, civil rights activist, and the wife of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. She played a critical role in the civil rights movement, advocating for social justice and equality after her husband's assassination in 1968. As a prominent leader in her own right, she worked tirelessly to preserve her husband's legacy and promote nonviolent activism. Coretta founded the King Center in Atlanta, which serves as a repository for her husband's papers and a hub for civil rights education. Her commitment to peace and equality extended beyond the United States, as she championed global human rights issues until her death in 2006.
