While most of Martin Luther King Jr.'s family became liberal Democrats, his niece Alveda King became a conservative Republican. While she tried to incorrectly paint her uncle as a symbol of her political philosophy, she did the same for Rosa Parks when she died in 2005. After her death, Alveda claimed Parks was a champion of the "pro-life" movement. Rosa Parks was pro-choice and supported a woman's right to choose. She strongly supported Plannned Parenthood and even served on its board for quite a number of years.
Martin Luther King Jr for ever.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of Alveda King, but she even resembles her uncle.
ReplyDeleteDo Republicans EVER tell the truth?
ReplyDeleteI do, Debra....
DeleteSo do I Debra. Broad brush statements can get you into trouble.
DeleteSure "bj" and the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, isn't that a fact. ha ha!
DeleteI doubt you'd know the truth if it was staring you in the face!

Rosa was a smart woman.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of any of his family members
ReplyDeleteI don't know any of his family members, either.
ReplyDeleteRosa was quite the political activist.
ReplyDeleteNever heard about her. But I love Martin Luther King!! He was amazing and brave.
ReplyDelete"After her death, she claimed she was a champion of the "pro-life" movement."
ReplyDeleteI had to read it twice. I first thought it meant Rosa Parks issued a statement after HER death. I thought that would have been quite a trick.
Have pity on me. I haven't had my coffee yet.
I didn't know anything about her.
ReplyDeleteRosa Parks was an amazing woman.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about Rosa Parks involvement with the pro-choice movement and her work for Planned Parenthood. Now I have even more to admire about her!
