  • Dare to Dream: Coretta Scott King and the Civil Rights Movement

    Angela Medearis

    Paperback (Scholastic Inc., Jan. 1, 2000)
    Every morning before school, Coretta Scott would watch the bus for white children drive by while she walked down the hot, dusty road to the school for black children. There were many things Coretta couldn't do because of the color of her skin. She dreamed of someday finding a place where everyone would be treated equally. Years later, Coretta helped her husband, the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., lead the civil rights movement. Together they led protest marches and stood up to prejudice and violence, as they struggled to fulfill their dream.
