Money is necessary -- both to support a family and to advance causes one believes in.
Coretta Scott King
I've always felt that homophobic attitudes and policies were unjust and unworthy of a free society and must be opposed by all Americans who believe in democracy. The civil rights movement thrives on unity and inclusion, not division and exclusion. My husband's struggle parallels that of the gay rights movement.
Coretta Scott King
...We have an historic opportunity for a great global healing and renewal. If we will accept the challenge of nonviolent activism with faith, courage, and determination, we can bring this great vision of a world united in peace and harmony from a distant ideal into glowing reality.

Coretta Scott King

Coretta Scott King
Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul.
Coretta Scott King
Lesbian and gay people are a permanent part of the American workforce, who currently have no protection from the arbitrary abuse of their rights on the job.
Coretta Scott King
I always knew that I was called to do something. I didn't know what, but I finally rationalized after I met Martin [Luther King, Jr.] and it took a lot of praying to discover this, that this was probably what God had called me to do, to marry him.
Coretta Scott King
The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.
Coretta Scott King
I'm more determined than ever that my husband's dream will become a reality.
Coretta Scott King
People need role models. They need to see examples of people in peoples' lives.
Coretta Scott King
Struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation.
Coretta Scott King
Without Coretta Scott King, there would not have been a Martin Luther King, Jr. in the way that we know him.
Coretta Scott King
Nonviolence is a method that transforms, first of all, the individual once you understand it and embrace it. It begins with you and, if you can, about transforming individuals so that they love unconditionally.
