Yolanda King, daughter of MLK, dies at 51

ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- Yolanda Denise King, daughter and eldest child of civil rights leader the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., has died, said Steve Klein, a spokesman for the King Center.

King died late Tuesday in Santa Monica, California, at age 51. Klein said the family did not know the cause of death but that relatives think it might have been a heart problem.

Here's the rest from CNN.

Unhappy

OMG! How truly truly awful!!! I saw her do her one woman show at OSU in 99 or 2000 and was very impressed by her. RIP.

Much condolences to the King family. I didn't meet Yolanda, but I did meet Bernice a few years ago.
