Who is one of the most
courages women in the world?
Coretta Scott King. She is my
role model. I am going to talk
about her childhood and family,
life events and influences,
achievements and character
traits and challenges and fun
facts.
3. Childhood and
family
First, comes her childhood and family. As a child
she was separated from her family members. She
worked as a house slave or a maid. But when she
entered high school all the kids would've made fun
of her. She went to Lincoln High school. She
became a valedictorian there and graduated to go
to college. Coretta Scott King went to Dillard
University. Throughout her childhood she loved
music. Her family was just her and her parents. Her
father was Obadiah Scott and her mother is
Bernice Mcmurray Scott. Of course, as most of you
know her husband was Martin Luther King jr. Her
daughters were Bernice King and Yondola King.
Her sons were Dexter Scott King and Martin Luther
King |||.
4. Life events and
influences
Next, her important life events and influences. I am
going to talk about her important life events first. She
married Martin Luther King and accepted the that she
had to protest for her husbands and her own right.
People were disgusted with her because of protesting.
She had 4 kids and raised and protected them safely
from harmful people. In her honor of these brave
challenges that faced her she is known as a civil rights
leader! Some of her influences were her husband for
standing up and breaking the rights of race, her
children for for being brave enough to control there
emotions based on their family. And Rosa Parks for
taking such a bold stand on the bus.
5. Accomplishmen
ts and character
traits
Third, her accomplishments and here positive
character traits. Her accomplishments are
protesting until Martin Luther King jr. Day
came to be on his birthday. Also she spoke for
and woke up for every single African American
person. She staged freedom concerts which
gave great speeches about racism and how it's
wrong. And when Martin Luther King died, she
didn't cry, she spoke on his behalf!!! Her
positive character traits are being calm and
peaceful, forgetting what happened in the past,
powerful and bravery, perseverance and
independence, and most of all tons of integrity
and that adds up to be 10x a role model
6. Challenges
and fun facts
Lastly, her challenges and some fun
facts. Some of her challenges that faced
her were white people that despised her
husband and people that just thought
blacks were lower than them, which I
think is rubbish. Some fun facts are...

friends with politicians after her
husbands death. Coretta Scott King died
at age 79 and she died of ovarian cancer
and she was the First African American
woman to lie in the Gorigeia state casket.

a fascinating woman with
amazing integrity and bravery.
