Coretta Scott King Informative Speech

“When you are willing to make sacrifices for a great cause, you will never be alone.”
My beloved friend, Coretta Scott king was a wise woman, yet she was still overlooked at times, and was hidden in the shadows of her husband, Martin Luther King Jr. Behind it all, Coretta was a striving, nurturing and passionate woman.
Coretta, much like her husband, was passionate about the civil rights movement and she strove for excellence. Many knew that Coretta would join Martin at his presentations, but it almost felt as if people skipped past the fact that she made her own appearances and history.

It was always amazing how Coretta could balance out both motherhood and
