CORETTA SCOTT KING WAS A VERY POWERFUL WOMAN. SHE WAS A HIGHLY EDUCATED BLACK WOMAN WHO WAS THE VALEDICTORIAN OF HER HIGH SCHOOL CLASS, A CIVIL RIGHTS WORKER, EARNED A B.A. DEGREE IN MUSIC AND EDUCATION AND STUDIED MUSIC AT THE NEW ENGLAND CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC IN BOSTON. THIS ALL BEFORE SHE EVER KNEW WHO DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING WAS. ONCE SHE MARRIED THE YOUNG FIERY PREACHER SHE MADE HIS MISSION AND THEIR FAMILY HER LIFE'S MISSION AND HELPED DR. KING TO BECOME THE ICON OF INSPIRATION THAT HE HAS BECOME TO THE ENTIRE WORLD AND GENERATIONS TO COME. CORETTA WAS NOT JUST A MOTHER AND WIFE. SHE WAS AS SMART AS SMART COULD GET. SHE, IN MY OPINION, SACRIFICED MUCH OF HER OWN PERSONAL CAREER TO STAND BEHIND A BLACK MAN WHO WAS UNFORTUNATELY AN ASSASSIN'S MAGNET. EVEN WHEN THE FBI REPORTEDLY SENT PHOTOS TO HER HOME OF HER HUSBAND AND AN ALLEGED MISTRESS CORETTA STOOD FIRMLY BY HER MAN. ONCE HE WAS CUT DOWN BY AND ASSASSIN'S BULLET SHE STILL CONTINUED DOWN THE DANGEROUS ROAD OF FREEDOM FIGHTING TO CARRY ON HER HUSBAND'S MISSION. WHEN SHE PASSED AWAY IN 2006 IT WAS PUBLICLY REVEALED THAT THE FBI HAD HAD HER UNDER SURVEILLANCE FOR MANY YEARS EVEN AFTER HER HUSBAND PASSED. CORETTALSCOTT KING IS PROOF THAT BEHIND EVERY GREAT MAN THERE IS AN EVEN GREATER WOMAN. I HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR CORETTA SCOTT KING; OUR HONORARY QUEEN OF THE WEEK.
