Coretta Scott King with her husband, Martin Luther King, Jr.

Coretta Scott King (right, in feathered hat) poses with her husband, civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., in a 1964 photo by Herman Hiller for the New York World-Telegram and Sun. The shot is now in the collection of the U.S. Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division. The library has no information on the precise date or location of this shot. Coretta Scott King was born in 1927, so she would have turned 37 years old, and MLK would have turned 35 years old, the year this photo was taken.
