The King Center for Nonviolent Social Change has consistently served as an example for doing what’s right. Digitizing their archives represents a groundbreaking moment in preserving and providing access to a vital, rich history Mrs. Coretta Scott King helped shape.

The Coretta Scott King Rose Gallery is a virtual museum and immersive experience that connects the past with the present. Explore the legacy of a woman who dedicated her life to the pursuit of social justice and peace with faith, courage, and dignity.

Struggle is a never-ending process. Freedom is never really won. You earn it and win it in every generation.
