For those history buffs out there, check out her Library of Congress collection. This is her account of her arrest. There's so many other goodies from this visionary. I'm particularly moved by Folder 2 which details her writings and opinions of the times. loc.gov/resource/mss85943.00…

As you honor my father today, please honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy died. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK  #BelovedCommunity

Happy MLK Day Everyone! As we remember the amazing life of Dr. King today, let’s also reflect on the children that are inspired by his legacy everyday to strive for a better future! Amazing work by Connor who won the Nashville MLK Day Design Contest.
As we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today, may we dream a new world together - for the sake of all our children. Image: Conner Russo, @HillwoodHS, winner of the 1st place design for Nashville MLK Day. Today's Nashville MLK Day info: mlkdaynashville.com
