As most of you probably are learning, Ms. Yolanda Denise King died yesterday, Tuesday, May 15th in Santa Monica, CA of an apparent heart attack. She lives a legacy just as great of that of her parents, Mrs. Coretta Scott King and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. left the world. She was only 51 years old at the time of her death. The days are getting longer and longer and the cords of memory shrink more as each day passes by since that gunshot on a Memphis motel balcony. A year ago we lost Mrs. Coretta King, now we loose the first born.
I've only had the pleasure of being in the same room with Ms. Yolanda King's younger brother, Mr. Martin King, III and the honor of receiving a signed response to a letter I wrote to Mrs. King. My prayers are with her siblings, Aunt (Mrs. Christine King Farris) and the rest of that outstanding family.
Please take time to visit Ms. King's website referenced below.
