In Honor of: Corretta Scott King



In Honor of
Corretta Scott King
1927-2006

They say behind every great man, there is a great woman. That is precisely how to describe the late wife of the great American the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Corretta Scott King.


Ms. King “embodied her husbands legacy”. She continued this fight for civil rights and what she called three crimes of humanity: war, poverty, and racism.

NPR covers her “homecoming” well. You can hear the speeches of 4 U.S. Presidents. Carter, Bush Sr., Clinton and Bush Jr. An amazing event in honor of two great Black Americans.
