“The Rev. Bernice King, CEO of the King Center in Atlanta, spoke Tuesday as she kicked off a series of events — summits, service projects and educational opportunities — leading up to Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Jan. 20. Coretta Scott King founded the King Center in 1968 to memorialize her husband’s life, work, legacy and commitment to nonviolence.” #KingHoliday #MLKDay #MLK #CorettaScottKing
As MLK holiday nears, Bernice King urges people to really focus on his teachings
