Today we're remembering Coretta Scott King (April 27, 1927 – January 30, 2006) — a powerful leader in her own right — on the anniversary of her passing.

Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

On this day, Martin Luther King, Jr. was born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Seeing labor and civil rights as twin pillars of social reform, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. worked tirelessly to advocate for working people, create connections with labor leaders and union members, play key roles in pivotal strikes, and fight for economic justice on several fronts. He believed strongly in the labor movement asserting that “organized labor has been one of the deterrents of human exploitation throughout its long history in America.”

To honor and celebrate him, the Kheel Center created an exhibit 4 years ago titled "All Labor Has Dignity", highlighting Dr. King and Coretta Scott King's work with the labor movement.

Today We Honor Martin & Coretta Marriage & Movement: It’s what made this couple’s union so special. Coretta once said, “After we married, we moved to Montgomery, Alabama, where my husband had accepted an invitation to be the pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church. Before long, we found ourselves in the middle of the Montgomery bus boycott, and Martin was elected leader of the protest movement. As the boycott continued, I had a growing sense that I was involved in something so much greater than myself, something of profound historic importance. I came to the realization that we had been thrust into the forefront of a movement to liberate oppressed people, not only in Montgomery but also throughout our country, and this movement had worldwide implications. I felt blessed to have been called to be a part of such a noble and historic cause.” CARTER™️ Magazine carter-mag.com #wherehistoryandhiphopmeet #historyandhiphop365 #carter #cartermagazine #staywoke #drmartinlutherking #corettascottking #civilrightsmovement #civilrights #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #history https://www.instagram.com/p/CebMHOirlvV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On this day in 1927, Coretta Scott King was born in Marion, Alabama.

While her life's work is often overshadowed by her husband's, Coretta Scott King (April 27, 1927 – January 30, 2006) was a skilled organizer in her own right.

In addition to founding and leading the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, and raising her family, King formed the Full Employment Action Council in 1974. The group aimed to end unemployment and job inequalities in the US. She also organized the Coalition of Conscience in 1983, a group of 800 organizations that sponsored the 20th Anniversary March on Washington.

Today we're celebrating Coretta Scott King's legacy of service, leadership within the Civil Rights movement, and commitment to economic and social justice.

Martin Luther King Jr. spent much time visiting — and at one point renting a home in  Chicago to help with open housing initiatives and the civil rights movement in the city.
