coretta

Interesting piece at Cliopatria on Coretta Scott King:

Coretta Scott King was born in a backwater of western Alabama. She married into a family that was a generation removed from middle Georgia backwaters. They didn't let her forget it, either. So long as she was Martin Luther King's wife, she remained in the background, a wife and mother. Only with his death could she become the widow. She made as much of it as she could.


I hadn't ever heard of this sort of tension within the King household, but I'm glad that she went on to become such an anazing activist. Blessings, Coretta.

    CGNU

    Academic potential, redefined.

    The clip is probably representative of the amount of work that will go into this blog, as well.
