Publisher's Summary

In this chapter book biography by award-winning author Kelly Starling Lyons, listeners learn about the amazing life of Coretta Scott King - and how she persisted.

Coretta Scott King is known for being the wife of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but she was a civil rights activist and leader in her own right! She was a singer and an author, too, and her work made a difference for Black Americans and for all women for decades to come.

Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton and a list of ways that listeners can follow in Coretta Scott King's footsteps and make a difference!

And don’t miss out on the rest of the books in the She Persisted series, featuring so many more women who persisted!

Critic Reviews

"This book profiles the uplifting voice of an activist worth recognizing in her own right [and] Lyons manages to weave in a healthy amount of emotion into this account . . . A brief but effective account of not-often-taught figure that would nicely complement curriculum units on the Civil Rights Movement."—School Library Journal
