Rev. Martin Luther King, Sr. (December 19, 1899–November 11, 1984) was a Baptist minister, an early civil rights leader and an advocate for social justice. He was also the father of American civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., who was born in 1929. The elder King led the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, and his personal example helped inspire Martin Luther King Jr. to enter the ministry. King Sr. was also a significant leader of the civil rights movement, becoming the head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People chapter in Atlanta and of the Civic and Political League, and encouraging his son to become active in the movement. After King Jr.'s death, his father continued to be active in public life, and played a role in Jimmy Carter's presidential victory in 1976.

Assuming that you mean civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., James Earl Ray entered a guilty plea to the murder charge on March 9, 1969.

Obviously no one read the question and explanation. He didn’t ask who Coretta Scott King was, he asked what she as an individual did to deserve such a publicized event, and the overwhelming attention she received at her funeral. (And someone is going to attempt to strip someone else of credentials, try “competency” before you do that , sweetheart.)\n\nCoretta Scott King is referred to as the “First Lady of Civil Rights.” Due in majority to the accomplishments of her husband, Rev/Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. Majority of Mrs. King’s publicity and fame was derived from her husbands legacy. Mrs. King’s accomplishments included being a concert singer, founding the Martin Luther King, Jr Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta, and managing to get a national holiday in her husbands name. Other than that, Mrs. King was a speaker who often spoke on issues and ideas that her husband created or main-streamed. Apparently prior to meeting MLK, Jr she was a peace activist, but no proof is available for her work or accomplishments. If you research Mrs. King, you’ll find the items listed above. Majority of the information and “accomplishments” available are of MLK, Jr, not Mrs. King. Other sources will tell you she was a wife, and mother. Her parents homes, and homes that she and MLK, Jr shared were bombed, and other various information. However, the greatest accomplishment of Mrs. King was preserving and promoting awareness of her husband’s legacy. From what I’ve researched, she really didn’t do anything other than that. Sorry, folks, but research it yourselves if you have reason to believe I am wrong. The attention received at Mrs. King’s funeral was more than likely as a result of observance of her husband’s legacy, same as in everything else about Mrs. King.

Here is some information for you...\n\n \nBetty Shabazz\n(1936-1997)\nActivist, Nurse, Health services administrator, Educator\nWhen Betty Shabazz married the dynamic civil rights leader Malcolm X, she could not anticipate the extent of her husband's fame or the course that their lives would take. Shabazz was catapulted into the American consciousness and the media spotlight following her husband's assassination in 1965 by three members of the Nation of Islam. Formerly an esteemed leader of the Nation, Malcolm broke with the black nationalist organization in 1963, after revising his separatist ideals and embracing a new philosophy of global unity. His young widow, pregnant with twin daughters at the time of his murder, was left to raise themóand their four sistersóby herself. In the ensuing years, Shabazz avoided publicity when she could, opting instead to provide a quiet, normal home life and full education for her children.  \nBetty was an adopted child who grew up in a fairly sheltered, middle-class household in Detroit, Michigan. She went to the local Methodist church with her parents on Sundays, parties on some Saturday nights with church friends, and movies on Fridays. While attending Northern High School, she joined the Del Sprites, a sorority affiliate. After high school graduation, she attended Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and encountered her first racial hostilities, which she didn't understand, and her parents refused to acknowledge. "They thought [the problems] were my fault," she later wrote in an autobiographical portrait printed in Essence magazine. After two years in Alabama, she moved to New York City to attend nursing school at Brooklyn State Hospital.  \n\nWhile at school in New York, a friend invited her to hear Malcolm X speak at an Islamic temple. When this friend said she'd arrange for them to be introduced after his speech, Betty's initial reaction was "big deal," she related in Essence in 1992. "But then," she continued, "I looked over and saw this man on the extreme right aisle sort of galloping to the podium. He was tall, he was thin, and the way he was galloping it looked as though he was going someplace much more important than the podium.... Well, he got to the podiumóand I sat up straight. I was impressed with him." They were introduced later, and she became even more impressed. They talked about the racism she encountered in Alabama, and she began to understand its causes, pervasiveness, and effects. Soon, Betty was attending all of Malcolm's lectures. By the time she graduated from nursing school in 1958, she was a member of the Nation of Islam.  \n\nBetty Shabazz explained in Essence, "I never 'dated' Malcolm as we think of it because at the time single men and women in the Muslims did not 'fraternize' as they called it. Men and women always went out in groups." In addition, Malcolm was busy with a relentless schedule of speaking engagements for the Nation of Islam. Nevertheless, their connection grew strong. Soon after she finished nursing school, Malcolm, who was traveling the country at the time, called her from Detroit and proposed. Before the week was out, they were married.  \n\nThe marriage did not last as long as either had hoped. On February 21, 1965, while speaking at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, he was gunned down. Shabazz had brought their four daughters to hear him speak that day. As the first of the 16 bullets that tore into Malcolm's body rang out, she threw her children down and covered them with her own body. After the shots, Shabazz tried to get to Malcolm, but someone held her back. When she finally did reach him, he was dead, and she wondered if she would survive herself.  \n\nRecovering from Tragedy\nFor three weeks, Shabazz did not sleep. She kept seeing her husband's body fall. "I really don't know where I'd be today if I had not gone to Mecca to make Haj
