Grandchild’s name is Yolanda, named after her aunt who p*****ed away last year. It is Bernice King that is in the photo with her brother and sister-in-law, and baby niece.

Congrats to the family!

I am not surprised that both brothers started breathing and living more after the death of their mom. I live in Atl and I ofter heard horror stories about how no woman was good enough in the eyes of their mother. Just like JFK jr. When his mom past, he quit being an attorney. He never wanted to be one but that was the profession his mom pushed him into. It took 3 times for him to p***** the bar. I don’t think it was a surprise that he started doing what he wanted after she was gone. I could not imagine the pressures being a child of a Kennedy or King. I betcha it was harder on those girls. I would like to have been a fly on the wall going over to meet Coretta for the 1st time.

God Bless that child

Well, that’s awwwwwright! I’m so happy for them! It’s really unfortunate that Bossip listed Bernice as ‘Auntie Yolanda’…Boooooo to you, Bossip.

This is beautiful! If you could have heard Martin, III speak about it, there was nothing but joy emanating from his voice and his body language.

5/28/08, 10:48:am

first grandchild?? wow. this is beautiful…thats a hell of a family legacy to be born into.

The King children are getting old… it’s about time one of them had a baby. They should have been spitting them out yearly to keep the King legacy going strong.

Why does someone discriminate black? I don’t think love is just belongs to white. I’m a black and but my hubby is white. We met at +((((+ I n t i m a t e m i n g l e. c o m +))))+which tell us love is color blind. Our love proved this. I hope each one will not discriminate blacks.

I would like to thank +((((+ I n t i m a t e m i n g l e. c o m +)))+for bringing a very close friend from 17 years ago. I never had the chance to express how I really felt. I had always watched her from afar, but due to Mutual friends it wouldn’t be right, but now we are planning to meet for new years eve. We have exchanged dozens of e-mails and phone calls. She now knows how I felt for her 17 years ago, And our future is as bright as ever.

@ smokey

Remember he just married her not too long ago. Yeah, it does seem really strange that as old as the King kids are that this is the first grandchild. I guess SOMER makes a good point!

Congrats to them though!

Somer, Til You Do Right By Me

Good points, Somer has a valid point, so I guess thats why

they just started the family. Makes sense is that is accurate.

@sikofit

yep a shame that they never conceived and grand child before their mother died. I always wondered why?

Public service ain’t all that… they put it off until she died, how terrible… that’s my 2 cents

God Bless Them!! Congrats King Family!

5/28/08, 13:48:pm

That is so special. Maybe they will have a son and name him Martin like his dad and grandfather. Where is Dexter the other brother?

Is MLK III pregnant? He needs to do some crunches or something. Put down the BBQ ribs!!

5/28/08, 18:42:pm

congrats to them, the baby name is Yolanda they did not say that was Yolanda

Now What?

5/28/08, 19:40:pm

not only is this the first grandchild but MLK III is the only child to be married. I always thought it was strange that NONE of MLK’s kids were married. MLK III just got married 2 years ago.

happy to be alive

5/28/08, 20:03:pm

he looks like Charlie Chaplin with a Tan… Happy for him though… Where is that fine Dexter?

Tommy Gibbs

5/28/08, 21:20:pm

What difference does it make if he had his child now, 5 yrs ago, 10 yrs ago etc.? Everything happens for a purpose & a reason in this world. As long as all parties are healthy & happy, that is what counts.

I only look innocent.. don't sleep

5/29/08, 01:32:am

FINALLY!!! Jus the other day me and my bestie was talking bout how none of the MLK kids had kids of their own.. All I gotta say its about damn time. It would’ve been too damn unfortunate if that great mans’ bloodline didn’t stretch farther than his own offspring… Congrats and thank u

When Yolanda died I notice that there was no grandchildren in sight. Then I wondered if it was a pack or something. It was not normal for a black family not to have at least one grandchild especially the Great King. But God bless that little girl and I hope there is more to come! She needs a playmate and prayer parnter once she finds out the truth about her history.
