I think that Coretta Scott King should be research and talked about to this day.One reason is that i think that she is important lady who had work really hard and made sacrifices to help us. She had rough times as being a adult and in her childhood Life she had to pick cotton just to earn extra money but know a days u don't have to pick cotton to earn extra money u can easily work over time at your job or have a side job where u make some chuck change.Ms.king and Mr.king did a wonderful job when they was adults and made changes about thing such about racism, Civil rights Moment, Women rights ETC. They did plenty of things to help the people out back then even today.I think people should be proud of Coretta Scott King and the Kings family because they all successful in life even if Ms.king didn't die she would still be a busy lady. Martin Luther King her husband i think would be very proud of her today if her was still alive because all the things she had did when they was togather and after Ms.king got assassinated.
