After her marriage to Martin Luther King Jr., Coretta took part in the Civil Rights Movement. Following her husband's assassination in 1968, she assumed leadership of the movement. Later in life she was an advocate for the Women's Rights Movement, LGBT rights, and she worked to end apartheid in South Africa.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Gail Herman has written several biographies and nonfiction books, including <i>Who Was Jackie Robinson?</i> and <i>What Is the World Series?</i>
