Today marks 73 years since Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott were married on her parents’ lawn in Marion, Alabama. We are grateful for their union, which profoundly impacted the world.

"My wife was always stronger than I was through the struggle... In the darkest moments, she always brought the light of hope."

“The term other half aptly fit Martin and me. In fact, we were more than that. I often felt as if we were one heartbeat, one soul.”
