This is a wonderful family…it’s great seeing photographs of them. They have such a rich family legacy of leadership and dignity.
I hope the other King children have at least one child. It would not hurt their pockets are time. I believe we live in a time where it has become more difficult to have children. One can barely take care of him or herself let alone a child. Still, there should be more than one grandchild.
Aww she is so cute!!
Please………black people will neva live up to his dream. Black people are the most color struck people on earth. This is all within their own race, all you have to do is look at some of these posts.
Baby Yolanda looks just like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I guess looks do skip a generation.
Cute babe
She looks just like Dr. Kings sister. Just look a t the mouth. I wish they would have another child, maybe a boy. Martin Luther King, IV?
She looks a lot like Dr. King; very precious little girl. Happy MLK Day!
I was thinking the same thing she looks just like Dr. King.
Happy Birthday, Dr. King!
Dr. King’s granddaughter is so precious.
She is cute! We have such a long way to go. We have acomplished alot but we have so much more to go and do. We also need to work on our kids. Instead of them laying around on King Day or not taking their studies seriously, we need to ppush them to do better and see the importance of education.
Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. So happy we have this holiday and that his legacy lives on through his precious little grand daughter.
Although we feel as though we accomplished having a black president, Dr. King’s dream is still far from complete. We need to do better as a society to stop the bullying, prejudices, racism, sterotyping as an American society.
All he wanted was an American dream and it was color blind.
YES INDEED!!! SO TRUE!!!
Agreed! And to get there, the tide turns both ways. We also need to stop making racist comments and thoughts about those outside of our own race. If you can’t say it about blacks without being politically incorrect, you shouldn’t say it about whites, hispanics, Asians, etc. That picture of Yolanda waving to Granddad is precious!
I totally agree. The second picture is so precious, the baby waving to her grandpa.
I was just thinking that. You can tell she recognizes him and they talk to her about him. I love that picture.
yes, that is my favorite picture of the set.
