Bernice King, daughter of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speaking at a ceremony honoring the opening of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial.
BERNICE KING: “But as I close, I close with the recognition that daddy is standing, Lincoln is seated. Lincoln remembered for signing the Declaration of Independence. Daddy being remembered as standing up for truth and standing up for justice and standing up for righteousness and standing up for peace and standing up for freedom. Daddy is now standing on the National Mall in our nation’s capital.”
It doesn’t take much to imagine the roar from the media and Democrats had George W. Bush or Dan Quayle ever spoke such an historical error.
I must wonder too, was her speech included in the $800,000 the King family charged the foundation that erected the monument for the use of his words and image?
