I think the King Children would have more credibility if they had had real jobs. It seems that they never developed individually, but lived off their father's notoriety. I wish her well.
SCLC and other Civil Rights Organizations need new leaders who will try to improve life for our people. They must identify our problems and work to resolve them. Unity is the key and without it, all hope is gone. I wish Ms. King success!
I know Dr. MLK is rolling over in his grave because his OWN children are fighting like cats and dogs over the estate. His entire philosophy was based on peace, and now his children are acting like fools.
Jiggy- You're a real tool. Mrs. King defiantly needs to step back and evaluate what civil rights movement truly represented. A staple in civil rights is the belief that equality should be reserved for all people regardless of race, religion, or sexual preference during and after the movement. The fire and brimstone sermons and speeches will not work with the younger generation of Black Americans.
Time will be the ultimate judge as to whether Bernice King was up to the task of being SCLC president.
