Coretta Scott

Walking many miles to school in the dusty road, young Coretta knew, too well, the unfairness of life in the segregated south — and a yearning for equality began to grow. Together with Martin Luther King, Jr., she gave birth to a movement that used nonviolent protest to fight for justice. And even when he died, she kept the movement focused on its vision and its journey — with dreams of freedom for all.

This extraordinary union of poetic text by Ntozake Shange and monumental artwork by Kadir Nelson captures the movement for civil rights in the United States and honors its most elegant inspiration, Coretta Scott. This evocative picture book is a stunning introduction to her role in Civil Rights history.
