In 1974, she formed the Full Employment Action Council, a coalition of over one hundred religious, labor, business, civic and women’s organizations dedicated to a national policy of full employment and equal economic opportunity; Mrs. King served as cochair of the council. In 1983, she marked the 20th Anniversary of the historic March on Washington by leading a gathering of more than 800 human rights organizations, the Coalition of Conscience, in the largest demonstrations the capital had seen at that time. Mrs. King is sometimes viewed as only the widow of Dr. King. She was much more, she was the embodiment of a leader. She was a wife, a mother, an activist and she remained as activist until this life no longer provided her with time. I was reading a quote from Mrs. King that was written in The Atlantic and I would like to leave this quote with you. “I am an activist, I didn’t just emerge after Martin died-I was always there and involved.” When we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr on his birthday, let us remember there was a queen beside the king that also made a difference.
