I worked at the King Center in Atlanta. Bernice King is a tyrant. She has disrespected me on more then one occasion. The only King family member that is kind is Christine King Farris ( daughter King's older sister ). The rest of them disvalue and mistreat poorer and less well known blacks. The world needs to know about the King family

Yolanda Renee King, carrying on the legacy of her grandparents to lift up human and civil rights for everyone in the world and eradicate poverty and militarism! Remembering MLK Jr today on this historic holiday. Dear God, please bless the King family and each member of the Republic of the United States of America to help us complete Dr. King's dream.

Dear Yolanda, she has a wonderful family. Her grandmother's tremendous grace, her lovely melodic voice, she must have been professionally trained in elocution. What this dear one may never know....her grandmother, like Jackie Kennedy and Merlie Evers, held us up. We were so busy watching and worrying about them, our shock and grief, shared......they held us up. Grace. Strength, belief in a higher power, these women shared with a grief stricken nation.

I don’t know if she will be US president by 2030 or a good lawyer but what I do see is she definitely had her grandmothers genes and spirit and whatever she wants to be in her heart ❤️ she will eventually become. I like her I think she has what it takes to live her dream and inspire others to live their dream too. God bless her 💝🙏🏻😊
