The C.O.W.S. Coretta Scott King: MY LIFE, MY LOVE, MY LEGACY Part 7

The C.O.W.S.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 7th study session on the 2017 autobiography of the late Coretta Scott King, My Life, My Love, My Legacy. It's been over a decade years since Mrs. King passed away in early 2006. Before her death, the civil rights icon documented her life with legendary journalist, Rev. Dr. Barbara Reynolds. The New Orleans Tribune advises everyone to read this book, calling it a timely read for the current climate of malice and "emboldened" White Supremacy. Last week's session chronicled Mrs. King vigorous campaign to construct the King Center in honor of her slain husband. Demonstrating phenomenal black self respect, she advocated to make sure that a substantial number of black contractors were hired in constructing the center. Mrs. King detailed how Southern Christian Leadership Conference members opposed at her effort to build the center because they felt it siphoned funds from other civil rights organizations. She also described being flattered and amazed at the "love" she experienced while visiting "white European countries!" Tragically, the book also details the murder of Dr. King's mother and the suspicious death of his brother, AD; the deaths suggest the entire King family may have been under direct white supremacist attack. We'll compare this text to other autobiographies covered during the book club - Maya Angelou, Assata Shakur, Malcolm X. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943#
