On This Day In History
On This Day in History: April 27, 1927
Today, we honor the legacy of Coretta Scott King, a woman of incredible strength, grace, and perseverance, on what would have been her birthday. Coretta Scott King was not only the wife of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. but a formidable civil rights leader in her own right. Her dedication to justice, equality, and the promotion of non-violent protest to achieve social change has left an indelible mark on the world.
After the tragic loss of her husband, she continued the fight for civil rights, founding the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, and advocating for the establishment of MLK Day as a national holiday. Coretta Scott King's work extended beyond civil rights; she was a strong advocate for women's rights, LGBT rights, and economic justice. Today, let's remember her legacy and the profound impact she has had in shaping a more inclusive, equitable society. Happy birthday, Coretta Scott King. Your light continues to guide us.
