The Life and Legacy of Coretta Scott King [46min]

Coretta Scott King died Monday night, in bed at a holistic health center in Mexico, just south of San Diego. She was 78 years old. King took up the torch of human rights, founded the King Center for Non-Violent Social Change, campaigned to establish her husband's birthday as a national holiday, fought to protect his image, and came to be regarded as the matriarch of the civil rights movement.
