#MLKDay: Coretta Scott King and Edith Savage-Jennings Remember Martin Luther King in Poignant Letter
Throughout his journey as an activist and civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. often relied on the wisdom of Edith Savage-Jennings, a New Jersey-based civil rights champion who defied norms and boldly spoke out against injustice. She and Dr. King were close friends after first meeting in 1957. And on the day he was assassinated, April 4, 1968, Dr. King called Savage-Jennings and asked her to stay close to his wife, Coretta Scott King, in case anything ever happened
