A Song for Coretta

Inspired by the long line of mourners who came by Ebenezer Baptist Church to pay their respects to Coretta Scott King, A Song for Coretta introduces five fictional African-American women, aged 17 to 57, waiting in the rain to say their final good-byes. Cleage shows the impact that Mrs. King had on the lives of these women, and the connections that they build with one another through her memory and legacy.
