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/darily 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! About the Book Mrs. Coretta Scott King:
