From the Vault: Coretta Scott King, a Revolutionary Woman |
BY BEVERLY GUY-SHEFTALL | While Coretta Scott King has been celebrated as a civil rights icon, her vision of “the beloved community” was bolder and more revolutionary than her husband Martin’s.

As we celebrate Martin Luther King Day this coming Monday, we remember the extraordinary impact of Coretta Scott King. This article was originally published in the Spring 2006 issue of Ms.—a few months after Coretta Scott King’s death on January 30, 2006.
