This biography of Coretta Scott, the wife of Dr. martin Luther King, Jr., expresses the simplicity of peace through the poetry of Ntozake Shange and the oil painting illustrations of Kadir Nelson.
The end page includes a picture of Coretta Scott addressing the crowd on the Mall at the March on Washington in 1963, as well as a second, parallel biography written in prose form by author Shange.
Obviously an inspirational read, this book provides insights into Coretta Scott King's elegant yet tough-minded character that are not generally known. The poetry and illustrations are powerful and emotive and remarkably subtle, each reinforcing the message of justice as a beautiful force in the world.
