"...this audiobook, which was dictated in the last year of King's life, puts both her and her husband's struggles in cultural and historical context. This is a must-listen." (The Berkshire Edge)
The life story of Coretta Scott King - wife of Martin Luther King Jr., founder of the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change, and singular 20th-century American civil rights activist - as told fully for the first time, toward the end of her life, to one of her closest friends
Born in 1927 to daringly enterprising Black parents in the Deep South, Coretta Scott had always felt called to a special purpose. One of the first Black scholarship students recruited to Antioch College, a committed pacifist, and a civil rights activist, she was an avowed feminist - a graduate student determined to pursue her own career - when she met Martin Luther King Jr., a Baptist minister insistent that his wife stay home with the children. But in love and devoted to shared Christian beliefs and racial justice goals, she married King, and events promptly thrust her into a maelstrom of history throughout which she was a strategic partner, a standard bearer, a marcher, a negotiator, and a crucial fundraiser in support of world-changing achievements.
As a widow and single mother of four, while butting heads with the all-male African American leadership of the times, she championed gay rights and AIDS awareness, founded the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change, lobbied for 15 years to help pass a bill establishing the US national holiday in honor of her slain husband, and was a powerful international presence, serving as a UN ambassador and playing a key role in Nelson Mandela's election.
Coretta's is a love story, a family saga, and the memoir of an independent-minded Black woman in 20th-century America, a brave leader who stood committed, proud, forgiving, nonviolent, and hopeful in the face of terrorism and violent hatred every single day of her life.
This program includes archival recordings of Coretta Scott King and is read by Phylicia Rashad and January LaVoy.

Scott is the most confident self-assured woman I have ever heard of. I say this in awe not criticism. She accomplished so much in her life that is often over shadowed by the legacy of her husband. But she was a force to be reckoned with and I'm ashamed to say I am just learning this. Her family experienced so much heartache it is a wonder how they kept going.
She in her time fought for civil rights for EVERYONE, including those in the LGBTQ community, which is saying something about a person of her time. But it's because she was a fighter for human rights and truly believed all humans are equal, as do I and as anyone should.
Furthermore, she says things at the time this was done that speak directly to what is happening today and our crisis.

King tells of the racial hatred she had to endure growing up in Alabama, the whites burning her family home when she was a child, and racial discrimination throughout most of her life. She tells of her life with MLK, the bombing of their home on January 30, 1956 with her and her children inside. She also tells of MLK’s assassination and her years after his death. King also tells of her aspiration for a musical career and her scholarship to the New England Conservatory of Music. The book reveals Coretta as a person out from the shadows of her famous husband.
Coretta Scott King was the first African-American to lie in State in the Georgia State Capitol upon her death.
I enjoyed reading the memoir of a most remarkable woman.
