Coretta Scott King was Martin Luther Kings wife. She helped lead the African-American civil war, she also was an author. Coretta hit her peak in leading the womens movement. She took on the leadership of the struggle for racial equality for women. Martin Luther King was very fond of his wife, and her work ethic. He stated i
n a speech, referring to Coretta saying "I am indebted to my wife Coretta, without whose love, sacrifices, and loyalty neither life nor work would bring fulfillment. She has given me words of consolation when I needed them and a well-ordered home where Christian love is a reality." Coretta took complete control over womans rights. That was her biggest goal and focus. She called for women to unite and form a solid block of women power to fight the three great evils of racism, poverty and war."Above is a link to Coretta Kings 1996 Atlanta Pride Festival speech.
