Coretta Scott and MLK in Montgomery (Full Bio)

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jun 21, 2023

Our June Full Bio selection is "King: A Life,” the first comprehensive account of Martin Luther King Jr. in three decades, written by Jonathan Eig. In this conversation, we hear about a young King's romantic interests and his marriage to Coretta Scott, from 1953 until his death. We also focus on 1955, the year in which the King family moved to Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks refused to move from her bus seat, and King was drafted to lead a movement.
