ATLANTA — The youngest daughter of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. says his message of equality — while not easy to carry out — remains a mandate to take action, to save the future of all children and the world.
“We must move beyond the convenient King to the inconvenient King, if we are to save the world,” King Center CEO Rev. Bernice King said. “His words carried prophetic mandates...They make a demand on us, and (those words) are to our detriment and peril if we ignore them.”
She joined U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and other leaders to celebrate the legacy of the late civil rights leader during the annual Beloved Community Commemorative Service Monday at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
