Bio: MLK, Jr.

The King Center:

"Just a little more than a year after Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed, his younger brother, Alfred Daniel, died in a tragic accident at his home in Atlanta. Funeral services were held at Ebenezer Baptist Church on July 24, 1969, where Alfred Daniel had served as co-pastor.

On Sunday, June 30, 1974, Mrs. Alberta Williams King, the mother of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was shot and killed as she sat at the organ in the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. Again, through an act of violence, there ended a life that was totally nonviolent, a life that was thoroughly Christian, a life that reflected love for all persons and unselfish service to humankind. Again, the indomitable faith of the King family was put to the test, and again love prevailed amid the greatest sadness. The Rev. Martin Luther King, Sr., bereft by the violent deaths of his two sons and now by the equally tragic death of his devoted wife, could still say - and did say - at her funeral service on July 3, "I cannot hate any man.""

Great guy, MLK, Jr. was, but I think the King Center may be overly dramatizing the situation. A.D.'s death wasn't violent as far as I can tell. At least not in the sense they are trying to pass it off in.

Update: Plagarism?

Update II: Is drowning considered violent? Check out the 2nd paragraph. Possibly, look at #183.

Later.
