The daughter of Coretta Scott King wants her family to publish the speeches, letters and commentary – of the widow of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.

Bernice King says her mother’s voice and her life can serve as an inspiration to many women.

The papers of Martin Luther King Jr. are already being published.

King says she thinks her brothers, Dexter and Martin III, will agree with a decision to publish their mother’s papers.

Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968 – and Coretta Scott King died in 2006.
