In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we discuss the book, My Life, My Love, My Legacy: Coretta Scott King. In this book, Coretta tells the story of meeting and falling in love with Martin, feeling called to the Civil Rights Movement, turning from pacifism to non-violence, and her lifetime of promoting equality for all. From her childhood in the early 1900s in Alabama, she suffered from the racist actions of those around her. She faced destruction of her home, death threats and harassment and watched those around her endure the same. She met Martin and fell in love, and together they marched, conducted sit-ins, and organized bus boycotts to bring about momentous change in the South.  She and Martin championed what they called, "The Beloved Community," which would bring people together and cause ripples throughout the country and beyond. After Martin's death, she continued to fight for equality. Her tireless efforts and determination led to the federal government approving the creation of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday we celebrate each January. We were so inspired by her story, and we hope you enjoy this episode.
