I understand your sentiment, but MLK would have wanted you to forgive. The whole movement from his side was a forgiving one because it was marked by nonviolence. Even more importantly, Jesus Christ wants us to forgive. ~~Jesus is Lord~~
For the first time this year, while watching the MLK events in Memphis, I saw and heard some of the pain and trauma of Dr, King's children. While our nation lost a hero, a leader ... they lost their father. I'm glad to hear them talk about it and hope that they can find peace with themselves and the memory of their father. He belonged to them first. Years ago, I read Dexter's book and found it to be painfully truthful and touching as he struggled to establish his own identity. They've been through a lot. You don't have to be heroes. We just want you to survive and be OK. God bless you all.
They all had already found peace and destiny that would manifest like ages ago. Get hip on the times. The media has blitzed your senses … America is so late on the matter. We ALL stand with the children who are a greater blueprint than their cheating father who was a human being full of faults and debauchery (some folk are full of less).
Coretta had babies outside of the marriage She was no saint Not only that she was a pastor wife That has multiple babies just like her husband with other partners glorifies
Good to see all the King's children together talking about their father's legacy. Also to see them healing from the troubles they had between the siblings. God bless the King family move forward and live your lives.
Fifty-Five Years later, I can still vividly remember watching MLK Jr.'s televised funeral services. The memory of 5-year-old Bernice's laying on the lap of her Mother was heartbreaking. Such a sad & devastating loss for us all.
I always felt sad for the kids and wives of not only Martin Luther King, but Malcom X as well as the Kennedy family. To have to continually re-live this every year BREAKS MY HEART.
I feel that some of the reason that they r having such a hard time is because every year they have to relive April 4, 1968 I think they need to stop showing him lying on that balcony being mortally wounded put yourself in there shoes u r having to watch this every year I think they r handling this quite well under the circumstances and I don't know all that they have had to endure but in times like this they really need God and each other
"It is a life-long process". Spoken like a Spelman woman. She is correct, absolutely, when it comes to grieving for a father...Ila E Williams, Spelman'74
HE WAS A GREAT MAN...perfect no, but he MADE the world a better place! where he found hatred, he spread love...the ones that should've embrace him...despised when he was murdered
Thank God for Dr Martin Luther king Jr legacy, there will never be another hero that will replace his void.. may he and Mrs. King RIP and may God please bless his family
I’m so proud of them and love them dearly! Being from Atlanta you sometimes forget how rich our city is culturally. As a child I will never forget going to Our Lady of Lords on boulevard literally across the street from the King center and always looking out and seeing his tomb every day that summer. I’ll never forget when Nelson Mandela was released and he came to Atlanta and they had a huge parade and he came down Auburn Avenue right in front of the King center. My grandmother crying and holding me. It felt so good to be black!
Their father called for a radical redistribution of economic power.......blackpeople focus and lock in on the last 2 years of martin king's life and u will see he was evolving into what he would have became had he lived......they always try to limit him to his I have a dream speech
And also I wonder they may say in private "They didn't ask to be born in that kind of life. they was endured mainly their father and I see why when all their adult life except Martin III who was married and got a child- not got married and having a family and they don't want put them the same situation they was when they was in their young childhood had their father or mother life be in dangerous each day and kind of work they was doing and that was too much for them had to bare had Dexter, Bernice (Yolanda R.I.P) had they got married and have children.
Yes, the King's legacy has been dumbed down to "injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere".... King was so much more than the few lines those love to speak. Thank you King family, there are those of us who support your healing as well.
Judge Joe Brown the last judge to see the case. He said the shooter was never caught. And there was two of them in a building.... This world is a dark place if you really look into it.
The AmeriKKKan government facilitated the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His family proved this in a 1999 court case-which was not publicized in any way.
Thank you for sharing your story, Bernice, Martin Luther King III, and Dexter. God bless the King family, each and every one of them living or in heaven. Each of you have my prayers, love, respect, and encouragement.
Please read Dexter’s autobiography Growing Up King. As you see on the video, he had a lot of feelings to work through and his book is a testament to honesty and resilience.
You can see the longing in Martin’s eyes when they show the video of the Christmas special. They are so amazingly brave. Their father’s legacy will live on as well as their own legacies. Their father’s life and death is of course a big part of their life and honestly that is such a cool and intricate journey. I know that God is for them, so who can possibly be against them. Nothing in this world. God turns sadness into joy☮️💟✝️
How do u know they really dislike each other? Are u serious to insinuate such a thing? They are hurting, still trying to understand they're role in this evil world.
@@receiveyashuahamesciac8025 They were involved in a lawsuit over the rights to his story and memorabillia and made some harsh statements about each other.
In tears. I am so grateful for their sacrifices as well sharing their parent with this nation in particular. And the impact of their work for humanity across the entire planet. Rest Well In Power.
"A life long process"...spoken like a true Spelman woman...Bernice King is absolutely correct about grieving for a father. It is a life-long process...period Ila E Williams, Spelman'74...
That was tough to hear dexter king talking about PTSD when he sees breaking news. It was also nice to hear they are healing. I also think it was interesting that they acknowledged this legacy was dumbed down as he was more radical in his thinking. The thing is, even the dumbed down version of him was considered radical and extreme for that time.
3:33 Mike Wallace: And what do you want for Christmas? Bernice: A biiiicyle Aw, Bernice was so cute. 😊 RIP MLK, Jr., Ms. Coretta, and Ms. Yolanda. ✝️😇❤️🕊
I think many of us don't realize how great his mission was, and what a gifted man he was. Some point to rumors of his infidelities and yet I am deeply moved the more I read about Dr. King and what he did for our country....and I'm grateful for him. Although his death brought about so much good in the long run, I wish he were still here, that his voice would still be heard. It's indeed striking to see his resemblance in his children. :)
I agree whilst it may have been traumatic to mention her they were still shown a 1968 video clip with her in it. She should have mentioned her name at the beginning, there were four children not three
My words could not express to u the King family for what God worked through your farther and mother but definitely and most importantly u who have sacrificed so much to this day. Bernice your selfless words shine so bright in this dark day and time thank u so much☺.ML jr. thank u so much for your total support of Ferguson Missouri and the entire St.Louis area when we truely needed the support. Dexter u handsome raskle I will pray for u and your siblings every time u come to thought but look to God by opening your heart to the Lord and trust for your deliverance from this issue if not more☺.
He WAS far more radical than he is portrayed. I pray that one day we will see equality. Even today there is hope however we have a very long way to go.
Rest in peace Dexter King🙏🙏🙏. Just one week from his dad's birthday on a holiday!!! I hate cancer😡😡😡. I know his parents and his sister are welcoming him back home to heavenly gates.. Its gonna be a happy reunion❤️. 62 is way too young to go. Dexter going home on MLK month, he is almost 63 in 3 more days so as the 18th anniversary of his moms passing as well. She died on his birthday. Aint it something! The King Family had been raised very well with keeping justice as well as intergity together. We needed more like this in todays world. He would have been here to save the nation. RIP Coretta, Martin Jr, Yolanda and Dexter. Prayers goes out to the King family.. I cant even imagine how they feeling growing up without a father. I can see Dexter still traumatized about this.. So heartbreaking 💔. Like i just said, hes back home with his loved ones. Be thankful and glad
Dexter is a photo copy of his dad. His manner of speaking sounds so much like his dad. I wonder of MLK granddaughter Yolanda is his reincarnation cause when I tell you she has MLK whole face💖
WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY BEFORE WE AS BLACK ARE TREATED EQUAL. THIS IS HEART BREAKING. ON JOBS WE ARE TREATED LESS THAN AND HIGH END DEPARTMENT STORES BEING IGNORED AND WATCHED AND ASKED TO LEAVE....MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
I can’t imagine what it must have been like for them to have to relive their father’s death being reported constantly on TV, radio, and the newspaper. When a popular public figure dies, those reports usually go on for quite a while.
You never ever can imagine the Impact of Losing such a Great Man Like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The Great sacrifice of his Life and Losing it . Giving to set the World free of People hating and Abusive behavior because of the Color of Our Skin .No one can ever repay his Children or Wife for the Lost of their Father or Mrs Corretta Scott King Husband.We must and should learn from The past to become a better Person . Honor what he stood and died for.. We have Lost to Many to soon also too young.
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR's children has the same resemblance like their father. To their father MLK Jr, I've admired your father. To me he's is a symbol of peace and hope. 👨👩👦👦👫👨👧👦 R.I.P Mr King. ✊🏿🙏🏾
You can clearly see Dexter as he talks about it he is still shaken about what happened.
How old was he. when his dad died.
Martin the third was 10 Dexter was 7 and Bernice was 5
thanks. for telling me
He looks and sounds like his father
Yes I feel bad for him
It was wonderful to see the Martin, Dexter and Bernice together. Your father left a great legacy. Thank you for sharing him with us.
They were not allowed to grieve openly because they were being filmed. Regardless of their status a loss of loved one is a loss
Pray for them.
Where was Yolanda, the oldest?
Karen Wells She passed away a few years ago.
@@karenwells1650 She died in 2007.
Amen
Four small children when he passed. Heartbreaking
What about. John F Kennedy did he have kids too when he was killed how old were his kids back then.
@@angela3403 Kennedy kids were around the same age when he was killed.
Aw. thats so sad thanks for telling me.

How profound and unselfish of Ms. Bernice King. God bless all of the King children.
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Dexter has post traumatic stress disorder. After 50 years, you will never get over it
Yeah you think 4 so
I can never forgive America for things like this! He was a man of peace.
TRUE
Forgive them,because payday is coming.
we should have remained segregated black people should never have to risk there lives or something that should already be in place
I understand your sentiment, but MLK would have wanted you to forgive. The whole movement from his side was a forgiving one because it was marked by nonviolence. Even more importantly, Jesus Christ wants us to forgive. ~~Jesus is Lord~~
Forgive the world payday is coming soon and sooner than you think it's not.
All three of the siblings are there, I know one missing which the late Yolanda King. RIP!
Rest in peace Yolanda king

Coretta had babies outside of the marriage

That has multiple babies just like her husband with other partners glorifies
RIP Dexter King
Dexter wrote a book about how painful their Father's assassination was... they weren't allowed to deal with the pain... deep
I’m currently reading it right now
Dexter looks just like MLK.
I agree with you 💯 percent
Yes
He does and so handsome

Now RIP Dexter King and Yolanda King.
Thank God for Dr Martin Luther king Jr legacy, there will never be another hero that will replace his void.. may he and Mrs. King RIP and may God please bless his family
Very hard to watch without tearing up .
I’m so proud of them and love them dearly! Being from Atlanta you sometimes forget how rich our city is culturally. As a child I will never forget going to Our Lady of Lords on boulevard literally across the street from the King center and always looking out and seeing his tomb every day that summer.

Martin III looks just like coretta
Dexter and Bernice are spitting images of their dad
Yolanda looked like both of her parents. ❤
Bernice does not look like them I don't see it
That interview was an opportunity to really tell how they feel....they still trying to show strength....

I was 8 years old but remember it like yesterday. It will always be apart of my memories.
A Hug for Berneice, and all three of them. 😇 💔
Im here after the passing of Dexter King
They had to go through this but not only that, they had to go through it again with their grandmother 😢😢😢
And the questionable circumstances surrounding their uncle's death
Martin lll Got Emotional when The Old Footage was Played 😔

OMG, I can't believe Dexter and Martin III saw it on TV and till this day he has PTSD over breaking news. That is soo sad!!
Not only MLK amazing but so is his children
God bless the children surviving
"Where would OUR world be?" How many more innocent people in this world and life have to die for justice?😔😔😔
They need to go to counseling as a family it's very obvious. It needs to be some healing to take place.

Why did you not make mention (by name) of MLK's oldest, Yolanda "Yoki" Denise King?
Its TRAUMATIC for them. Thats why
Yolanda passed away shortly after her mother in 2007.
I agree whilst it may have been traumatic to mention her they were still shown a 1968 video clip with her in it. She should have mentioned her name at the beginning, there were four children not three
I would love a longer interview with his children . I am grateful for the sacrifices that his family made
Wow that last word by Bunny was amazing.
I’m so sorry. Bernice is so beautiful.
Yes she is!!!
She has such a radiant complexion.
Bless them 🙏🏽

So glad they mentioned it
Very touching. Amazing family. I wonder why they chose to have CBS interview them together? Was it based purely on outreach?
