This morning I saw an interview with 17 year old Yolanda Renee King who was in town for an event remembering her grandfather, Martin Luther King Jr. She was incredibly well spoken and her looks even resembled her grandfather. During the interview, she talked about how important it is to choose the option for peace and not violence, to choose love for one another instead of hatred. She said that her father, who is Martin Luther King Jr.’s son, did not push her into the public spotlight. Instead, she chose to speak up and speak out for what is good and possible. She talked about the importance of voting on both the national and local levels, reminding us of the freedom that we all have to do so. And while many of the topics were serious, she was still a teenager and described how she likes to hang out with friends, eat, and listen to music. I was very impressed with her poise, her message, and how comfortable she was in front of many cameras. I am sure she will make quite a positive impact in our world.

I Found God today in the well spoken granddaughter of Martin Luther King Jr.
