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. In love with King, and devoted to shared Christian beliefs and racial justice goals, she married him, 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 fifteen 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 is a love story, a family saga and the memoir of an independent-minded black woman in twentieth-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. 700 1 $a Reynolds, Barbara A., $e author. 700 1 $a LaVoy, January, $e narrator. 700 1 $a Rashad, Phylicia, $d 1948- $e narrator. 941 $a 4 945 $a cdab 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20220401020249.0 952 $l BWPD851 $d 20210714012740.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006103919.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20170209023218.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A631FAC0EE9511E6BCC18BE6DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
