Coretta Scott King is known for being the wife of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but she was a civil rights activist and leader in her own right! When her husband was killed, King fought to keep the movement going, ensuring that they didn't lose their hardwon progress. She was a singer and an author too, and her work made a difference for Black Americans and for all women for decades to come.
Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestselling series She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger comes a chapter book that teaches young readers all about the real story of King's life and work! Written by award-winning author Kelly Starling Lyons, with black and white illustrations by Gillian Flint, this is the perfect chapter book for emerging readers eager to learn more about women who stood up, spoke up and rose up against the odds.
