Coretta Scott King

It is Coretta Scott King’s birthday! How do I know this? Elizabeth Warren tweeted about it. Warren’s tweet is not substantive and has no links to sources or anything that recognizes Coretta S. King’s life or activism. (Anyone have opinions on performative allyship or referencing specific activists/organizations/people for political gain?) In honor of King, I wanted to share a multi-part interview with her and one specifically on her advice for young activists.

(These videos come from the The National Visionary Leadership Project (NVLP), which is the premier resource for oral history interviews with African American elders who shaped the 20th century. These might help some of us with our final projects!)
