Daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. dies
By ERRIN HAINES, Associated Press Writer
20 minutes ago
ATLANTA - Yolanda King, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s eldest child who pursued her father's dream of racial harmony through drama and motivational speaking, collapsed and died. She was 51.
King died late Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif., said Steve Klein, a spokesman for the King Center. The family did not know the cause of death, but relatives think it might have been a heart problem, he said.
"She was an actress, author, producer, advocate for peace and nonviolence, who was known and loved for her motivational and inspirational contributions to society," the King family said in a statement.
Former Mayor Andrew Young, a lieutenant of her father's who has remained close to the family, said King was going to her brother Dexter's home when she collapsed in the doorway.
Her death came less than a year and a half after her mother, Coretta Scott King, died in January 2006 after battling ovarian cancer and the effects of a stroke. Her struggle prompted her daughter to work with the American Heart Association to raise awareness about strokes, especially among blacks.
Yolanda King, who lived in California, was an actress, ran a production company and appeared in numerous films, including "Ghosts of Mississippi." She played Rosa Parks in the 1978 miniseries "King."

Very sad. More grief for a family that has had enough of it.

I really think this dude is starting to enter into douche-bag territory. From his QUESTIONABLE AT BEST posts about being hazed for being gay, to the general lack of a point the remainder of his posts seem to have.
Ok Jus, where you from? Whats your affiliation? Is there a purpose to your existence?

Sad indeed. I think the same thing happened to John Ritter who also had a heart defect that was unknown until he died.

Someone made a sock of a gay, Indian kid? I'm not questioning you D, just wondering who this sock is supposed to make fun of.
