It wasn't always easy. From an early age, she stood strong against white violence toward her family in the South, and against discrimination as a music student in the North. Coretta found her voice as a classical singer, but she struggled mightily to speak out as an activist in the face of men who thought she should be seen and not heard. But she never wavered. When Martin died, it was Coretta who carried on the struggle, and preserved his legacy so that his voice would be heard by future generations. This important story, told in poetry and prose, is a riveting introduction to an important and instrumental figure in the history of activism and civil rights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAwards for \u003ci\u003eMemphis, Martin, and the Mountaintop...\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor Book - School Library Journal Best Book of the Year - Booklist Editors' Choice - Kirkus Reviews Best Children's Book - Booklist Top 10 Diverse Books for Middle Grade or Older Readers - Chicago Public Library Best of the Best Books\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlice Faye Duncan\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of multiple children's books, including\u003ci\u003e Memphis, Martin, and the Mountaintop\u003c\/i\u003e, which received a 2019 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor and five starred reviews, and \u003ci\u003eJust Like Mama\u003c\/i\u003e, which was nominated for the NAACP Image Award.
