Synopsis

"Courageous Legacy: The Coretta Scott King Story" chronicles the extraordinary life of Coretta Scott King, from her humble beginnings in rural Alabama to becoming a global icon for justice and equality. Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous civil rights era, the film follows Coretta's journey as she meets and marries Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., embarking on a mission to challenge the status quo and fight for the rights of African Americans. As Dr. King leads the charge for civil rights, Coretta emerges as a formidable force in her own right, organizing rallies, leading marches, and advocating for peace and nonviolence. But her role extends far beyond that of a supportive wife; she becomes a powerful leader in her own regard, championing women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and economic justice. However, Coretta's path is fraught with obstacles and heartache. From the constant threats to her family's safety to the tragic assassination of her husband, Coretta faces immense challenges with grace and resilience. Yet, through it all, she remains steadfast in her commitment to carrying on Dr. King's legacy and fighting for a world free from discrimination and oppression.
