The Rev. Bernice King and Martin Luther King III haven't spoken to their brother in months, and their painful family feud has kept Dexter King from meeting his only niece, his two remaining siblings said Saturday.

Dr. King’s niece, Alveda King, is a fine pro-life speaker and has a special story of her own to tell.

Sad to see the family feuding but I think we are seeing something of the hidden in the MLK family that has been obscured by the idol worship.

I wonder if the idol many worship today has a dark side that we will read about 40 years from now.

Can’t we all just get along? Let the history books reflect that MLK chopped down the cherry tree.

Other than Alveda King, a true Christian and a great person, King and his legacy have always been a media manufactured myth.

If they had had to work for it they would settle out of court.

More ghetto behavior. I’m betting their only “jobs” are managing those videos and papers that belong to their father. The legacy of easy money.
