Mrs. Coretta Scott King, widow of slain civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dedicated the remainder
of her life to keeping Dr. King’s dream and legacy alive. In fact she became the world’s foremost human rights
leader by championing the voices of the underrepresented, mistreated and the downtrodden.
But there was another man in Mrs. King’s life who wielded enormous power and influence but from behind the
scenes as her personal assistant. This man was Lynn Cothren, a white and openly gay then teenager from
Tennessee who for over 23 years worked at the foot of Mrs. King learning and applying the principles of
Kingian Nonviolence.
In 2008, two years after the death of Mrs. King’s a now 40-something Cothren lives in the Harlem
neighborhood of New York City pursuing a new career of empowering young girls while continuing within his
own right activism within the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community.
