My life, my love, my legacy / by King, Coretta Scott,1927-2006,author.; Reynolds, Barbara A.,author.;
"The life story of Coretta Scott King--wife of Martin Luther King Jr., founder of the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change, and singular twentieth-century American civil rights activist--as told fully for the first time, toward the end of her life, to one of her closest friends. Born in 1927 to daringly enterprising black parents in the Deep South, Coretta Scott had always felt called to a special purpose. One of the first black scholarship students recruited to Antioch College, a committed pacifist, and a civil rights activist, she was an avowed feminist--a graduate student determined to pursue her own career--when she met Martin Luther King Jr., a Baptist minister insistent that his wife stay home with the children. But in love and devoted to shared Christian beliefs and racial justice goals, she married King, and events promptly thrust her into a maelstrom of history throughout which she was a strategic partner, a standard bearer, a marcher, a negotiator, and a crucial fundraiser in support of world-changing achievements. As a widow and single mother of four, while butting heads with the all-male African American leadership of the times, she championed gay rights and AIDS awareness, founded the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change, lobbied for fifteen years to help pass a bill establishing the US national holiday in honor of her slain husband, and was a powerful international presence, serving as a UN ambassador and playing a key role in Nelson Mandela's election. Coretta's is a love story, a family saga, and the memoir of an independent-minded black woman in twentieth-century America, a brave leader who stood committed, proud, forgiving, nonviolent, and hopeful in the face of terrorism and violent hatred every single day of her life."--Provided by publisher.

Paper Mario. [electronic resource]. by Nintendo of America Inc.;
Game.A new paper-crafted Mario adventure unfolds on Nintendo Switch! The kingdom has been ravaged by an Origami menace! Join Mario and his new partner, Olivia, as they battle evil folded soldiers, repair the damaged landscape, and try to free Princess Peach's castle from the clutches of King Olly in this comedy-filled adventure, only on the Nintendo Switch system. Master strategic, ring-based battles line up scattered enemies and plan your attack to maximize damage with the new, ring-based battle system that requires both puzzle-solving skills and a quick wit. Mario and Luigi receive an invitation from Princess Peach to attend an Origami Festival and excitedly hurry to Toad town...but Something's amiss. After investigating the eerily empty town, the duo finds a fearsome (and folded) Princess peach--she's been turned into Origami by King Olly, ruler of the Origami kingdom! With five giant streamers under his control, King Olly binds Princess Peach's castle and transports it to a distant mountain as part of his plan to re-fold the world. On his journey to liberate Peach's castle and repair the ravaged paper landscape, Mario meets Olivia, King olly's sister, and the two join forces to put a stop to olly's Origami onslaught. Even Bowser falls victim to olly's plot when his minions are turned into Origami folded soldiers and betray their koopa King, forcing him to ally with Mario and Olivia! Battle the folded soldiers in ring-based battles that challenge you to strategically line up enemies to maximize damage! Out of battle, Mario can use the arm-extending 1, 000-fold Arms ability in specific spots to interact with the landscape to pull, Peel, hit, and more! Join Mario, Olivia, and their companions on a journey of laughter and emotion, thrills, and a whole lot of Folding.ESRB Content Rating: E, Everyone (Mild cartoon violence).Cartridge compatible with Nintendo Switch video game system ; HDTV 720p/1080i/1080p ; in game surround sound ; Nintendo Switch Pro controller compatible.
