King, Coretta Scott, née Scott 1927-
US singer, civil rights campaigner and writer
Born in Marion, Alabama, and trained in music at the New England Conservatory, she made her concert debut in 1948. She married Martin Luther King, Jnr in 1953. Two years later, the Montgomery (Alabama) bus strike led the couple into the struggle for civil rights for black Americans. After her husband's assassination in 1968, Coretta continued her husband's legacy of non-violent resistance by fighting (successfully) for a national holiday in his honour and by establishing the Martin Luther King, Jnr Center for Nonviolent Social Change. She currently serves as its president.
