Another King Has Passed Away...


Yolanda Denise King
November 17, 1955 - May 15, 2007


Ms. Yolanda D. King, the eldest of the children born to the late Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King, passed away at the age of 51 on Tuesday night. When I first heard about this news story early this morning on the radio, I wondered whether the stress of her mother's death got to be too much for her and took its toll on her health. Lady, rest in peace.

Mr. Reverend Al Sharpton said Yolanda King was a "torchbearer for her parents and a committed activist in her own right." -- damn, that line is fly about the torchbearer. That's truly what this woman was. Godspeed to a fallen King.
