Alveda King was just a teenager when her uncle, Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered…

She was a young woman when her father was killed under mysterious circumstances, and her mother was shot while playing the organ in church…

Yet, despite all of that tragedy…  tragedy that would make anyone bitter, Ms. King has managed to keep true to the Word of God and keep love in her heart.

“It’s hard sometimes,” she told Neil Cavuto on his Fox Show. “I have a bad temper, but I pray to the Lord for strength and to help me forgive, and then I repent… we have to repent.”

When asked if race relations improved in the country, she said it had. “As my uncle said, we must learn to live together as brothers and sisters or perish as fools,” she added. “When we disagree, we’re not supposed to hate each other.”

We have to get back to God, she told Cavuto. “The whole civil rights movement was founded in God… in the Christian Church… Other denominations and religions came together through a love and fear of God…. That went away, but now it’s back. Martin Luther King’s message came out of the Bible, and it has to be taught in every generation, in every decade, and on every platform. We have to counter evil with good.”
