This compelling biography tells the story of how she came to stand up against prejudice and violence during the African-American Civil Rights Movement.
"A readable account of the life of Coretta Scott King... this biography shows her to be a courageous woman who can stand on her own merit, and not just as the wife of one of the world's most well-known men."
