Coretta was the name of Martin Luther Kind’s wife IIRC. Ayers was using a classic (in his mind) “black” name. More mythology....It’s a very unusual name, never read or heard of it attached to any other human.

Mythology is right, Coretta is based on a Greek name, lol. That seems to be pretty typical - a lot of people named their kids with Greek names for some reason.

I hung out with a lot of black kids in high school, in the late mid/late 60s. I never knew a Coretta. It stinks of being made up by Ayers.
