When i see this I cry for his family, but especially Yalonda who at 12 has lost the man her daddy, her protector, and only daddy she has. When she started crying after they showed AD his brother crying, just imagine a 12 year old little girl, old enough to realize that her world would become different the moment her daddy died. She would no longer have him to guide her. Just take that in. RIP to Yogi, RIP to Mrs King who was a brave and classy lady who raised those beautiful babies to adult hood. I couldn’t hold my tears back when I noticed when Dr.King speech started Bernice looked so confused as if she was searching for her daddy when she heard his voice. 😢

What a strong courageous regal woman Ms.Scott-King was because of her bravery and strength this day,it helped a scornful nation to heal,at such tumultuous time during during those dark days that unfortunately turned into years. Dr. King,thank you for being such a secular force and leading this nation with such dark times,and because of your immense strength and bravery,it helped to take us in steps to lead this county into better days ahead. Though things have changed we are continuing to make those strides ahead.

People tend to forget Malcom x views started changing ever since he visited mecca. He believed in piece and unity later on in his life. He never preached about just being violent, he believed in self defense, what Americans use still to this day,especially when they bring up 2nd amendment. Straight hypocrisy...

She's just wearing a simple veil. She was 13, 14 when her dad died and she wasn't quite old enough to wear a hat and veil like her mother and her grandmother. Widows and mothers of the deceased wore veils and hats to funerals.
