“Coretta Scott King: Activist, not Symbol” (zoom)

In the shadow of her famous husband’s life and death, Coretta Scott King often felt unseen and unheard. But as her daughter Dr. Bernice King pointed out, “Before she was a King, my mother was a civil rights activist, a member of the NAACP and the Race Relations and Civil Liberties Committees at Antioch College.” After Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, Coretta Scott spent nearly four decades working for social justice. Hugh Taft-Morales explores how this remarkable person overcame the intersectional oppression experienced by women in leadership positions.

Hugh Taft-Morales serves as Leader of the Philadelphia Ethical Society and the Baltimore Ethical Society and is a member of the Ethical Action Committee of the American Ethical Union (AEU).  Hugh taught philosophy and history for twenty-five years in Washington, D. C., after which he transitioned into Ethical Culture Leadership.  In April of 2009 he graduated from the Humanist Institute and was certified as an Ethical Culture Leader by the AEU in 2010.
