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. When we retell the story of radical African American activism in the 20th century, we can finally embrace Coretta Scott King as the truly revolutionary figure she was.
As we celebrate Martin Luther King Day, we remember the extraordinary impact of Coretta Scott King. This article was originally published in the Spring 2006 issue of Ms.—after Coretta Scott King’s death on January 30, 2006.

BY MARY BABIC | Build Back Better is not just about what’s right. It’s about what’s necessary to keep our country from falling apart at the seams. If we don’t mitigate climate change now, climate disasters will become more frequent, and more deadly and destructive. If we don’t build a strong childcare system, parents won’t be able to go to work, and we will lose skills and experience, as well as huge chunks of the labor force.
Without BBB, we’re losing not just a move toward equity, health and well-being—but also the chance at lasting prosperity.

“I moved to Seattle. Of course, Dick followed shortly thereafter. There was no separating Dick and me. It’s been me and Dick since the beginning and it’ll be Dick and me in the end. Actually Dick and I broke up recently, I’m sorry to say. Although I swear I bumped into him at a bar last week.”

It’s been just over a year since armed insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, in an effort to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential win. In the year since, what have we learned about the attack, and what it says about the current state of American democracy? It’s also been a year of public health crises, political crises, and more—and we’re going to be breaking it all down.
