Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther King Jr.'s wife and widow, led the preservation of his legacy. Following his assassination (1968), she founded the MLK Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change. She later lobbied for MLK Jr.'s birthday to be recognized as a federal holiday. https://t.co/Lx6UYIC3x1 — PolitiTweet.org
