She even said in an Interview that she was only 4 years old and didn't understand what was happening. She was looking for him, because she heard his voice. She knew he was in the room. So Sad.

[@willsims5477]

His brother AD was devastated!

[@Rasslinwithracism]

White folk killed him shortly thereafter.

[@slowjamz4life]

[@aprilshowers9750]

Martin, you did just what you said, you truly walked in your calling in your 39 yrs on this earth. Sadly we have a long way to go. Racism still exists, but you Dr. Martin Luther King, your dream will never die! Happy Birthday to ya!!!( In my Stevie wonder voice)

[@NathanAHogan]

King forfeited his dream by selling his soul, selling out his own people and being a boule member.....

[@De3e3]

​@@NathanAHoganwhat are you talking about? You sound real ignorant

[@jamesgordon2255]

What a strong courageous regal woman Ms.Scott-King was because of her bravery and strength this day,it helped a scornful nation to heal,at such tumultuous time during during those dark days that unfortunately turned into years. Dr. King,thank you for being such a secular force and leading this nation with such dark times,and because of your immense strength and bravery,it helped to take us in steps to lead this county into better days ahead. Though things have changed we are continuing to make those strides ahead.

[@chanellewilliams9226]

Oh God Thank You For Being A Fence Yes Being A Fence Around The King👑 Family During That Dark Hour We Thank You For Your Embracement And That Comfort That Only You Can Give. 🙌🏾

Bernice king let it be known that her father is the most misquoted man in American history.

[@rhall2500]

He preached his own funeral. Miss u mlk. We need u here now.

He knew it was only a matter of time.

[@trevinhickman9022]

J. Edgar Hoover and Lyndon Johnson had the greatest leaders of the 1960's assasinated. Sad 😢💯

MLK, Daddy King and his wife were rendered for sacrifice for the goat.....

[@zairedravis2747]

You have to make it change use your children to make it change that one day his death wouldn’t be in vein

[@tylerriley2587]

Would Dr. King think about going into politics if he lived longer

[@tylerriley2587]

@Paul Lunsford or what else should he do if he was around in the 80s and 90s and early 2000s

[@citizencaine3151]

Our Reward is in Heaven Sis ❤️

[@Ebd1990]

When i see this I cry for his family, but especially Yalonda who at 12 has lost the man her daddy, her protector, and only daddy she has. When she started crying after they showed AD his brother crying, just imagine a 12 year old little girl, old enough to realize that her world would become different the moment her daddy died. She would no longer have him to guide her. Just take that in. RIP to Yogi, RIP to Mrs King who was a brave and classy lady who raised those beautiful babies to adult hood. I couldn’t hold my tears back when I noticed when Dr.King speech started Bernice looked so confused as if she was searching for her daddy when she heard his voice. 😢

[@Themaddprof]

I vividly remember watching this with my aunt in my grandmother's kitchen when I was 4 years old.

[@speerrituall1]

I remember this day. It was so quiet, everyone was inside watching the funeral.

As someone said already he preached his own funeral ...I was born the same month the same year that his life ended here on earth but his energy went on to God , Amen

[@kmoore5215]

AD was taking it so hard when he heard his brother’s voice 😢. Surprised Christine and her parents weren’t shown. They must’ve been far right on that row from Coretta.

[@d820m]

His brother Alfred Daniel....AKA 'AD' would pass away the next year

[@asill.6668]

And his mother was assassinated six years later...

[@ellisisland1374]

Tragedy all around.😔 God bless the King family.🙏🫡💐

[@capoislamort100]

He didn’t ’pass away’, he was murdered in his own home and thrown in the swimming pool!

[@VanessadoraHill]

​@@capoislamort100His wife didn't say that!!saidl he had a heart attack

[@kevinb.1454]

​@@VanessadoraHill On July 21, 1969, nine days before his 39th birthday, A. D. King was found dead in the swimming pool at his home. The cause of his death was listed as an accidental drowning. However, it is likely that the stress of his brother's high-profile activist work and the trauma of his assassination exacerbated A.D.'s heart problems (a rumor disclaimed by his wife Naomi Ruth Barber King), of which there was a family history: three of A.D.'s children later died of heart attacks-Alfred Jr. in 1986, Darlene at age 20 in 1976, and Vernon at age 49 in 2009; his father, Martin Luther King Sr., also died of a heart attack in 1984; his niece, Yolanda King, died at age 51 in 2007. His father said in his autobiography, "Alveda had been up the night before, she said, talking with her father and watching a television movie with him. He'd seemed unusually quiet...and not very interested in the film. But he had wanted to stay up and Alveda left him sitting in an easy chair, staring at the TV, when she went off to bed... I had questions about A.D.'s death and I still have them now. He was a good swimmer. Why did he drown? I don't know - I don't know that we will ever know what happened." Naomi King, his widow, said, "There is no doubt in my mind that the system killed my husband. My Boaz was murdered." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._D._King

[@nicknat1086]

With everything going on today. It hurts so bad to watch and hear him speak... ...come on people did he and others died in vain!!!? What are we doing in America...

[@briangeorge1391]

The president should have ordered a full security detail for the King family throughout the high-profile funeral events, especially when walking behind the casket.

[@garyjoynes2125]

It’s very sad that he gave his life for trying to help black lives but look at today as a people we are.

[@cinemeleon2808]

STILL maginalized. STILL fighting for our rights. STILL discriminated against. STILL hunted down by the police. STILL no justice. If by those things, you mean, 'where we are as a people', then YES. Don't get on here of all places trying to be obtuse and saying stupid clown sh*t. Move around.

[@shaunspensley1050]

Most brothers love malcom x fo being millitant and willing to kill. But no brothers love Martin LK for being willin to die for his cause.

[@80steen44]

You act like post Mecca Malcom wasn't aware of the possible consequences of calling out the Nation of Islam

[@williamfrancois5]

People tend to forget Malcom x views started changing ever since he visited mecca. He believed in piece and unity later on in his life. He never preached about just being violent, he believed in self defense, what Americans use still to this day,especially when they bring up 2nd amendment. Straight hypocrisy...

Cj I was a freshman in college at the time we watched the funeral on TV at the college recreation room

[@Nike5221]

I can’t imagine the pain and trauma and the resilience that the King Family endured during that time period… Plus as I get older to learn that other members of the King Family were tragically taken away in the years following Martin’s death only amplified those feelings

[@wilhiamdepaula5219]

I’m crying

[@jackiehill239]

He just wanted us to know that he done his very best . And that it was the will of God that order his steps. For the Bible declares that the steps of a good man ( Dr. King ) . Are order by the Lord Dr. King you fought a good fight and you kept the faith .

What is Yolanda wearing on her head? Was that traditional funeral attire for young children in Atlanta or in Baptist churches in the South? No disrespect is intended. We were simply always curious.

[@rucianapollard7098]

She's just wearing a simple veil. She was 13, 14 when her dad died and she wasn't quite old enough to wear a hat and veil like her mother and her grandmother. Widows and mothers of the deceased wore veils and hats to funerals.

[@asill.6668]

​@rucianapollard7098 Actually she was 12 at the time of her father's death.

[@SonOfSoulEnt]

A.D. looked just like him at certain times

[@AutumnFrost-j5w]

Yes, he did! To see Bernice look around with such confusion after hearing his voice, is truly sad 😢 Mrs. King was just so poised. Such a class act! More humble than I could’ve ever been if he were my husband that was taken away so tragically
