Daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. says she’s disappointed in America’s progress after decades of honoring MLK
Fox News
Marin Luther King Jr.’s daughter, Rev. Bernice King, said that while the U.S. celebrates MLK as a holiday, Americans do not embrace the lessons King taught.
"We love to quote King in and around the holiday. ... But then we refuse to live King 365 days of the year," she declared at the commemorative service at Ebenezer Baptist Church, where her father once preached.
The service, organized by the center and held at Ebenezer annually, headlined observances of the 38th federal King holiday. King, gunned down in Memphis in 1968 as he advocated for better pay and working conditions for the city’s sanitation workers, would have celebrated his 94th birthday Sunday.
