YOLANDA KING—a heart filled with love—has left the building. She will be remembered well.
The King Center in Atlanta - set up to preserve the legacy of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King - says his oldest child, Yolanda Denise King, has died.Steve Klein, a spokesman for the King Center, says Yolanda King, who was 51, died late Tuesday in Santa Monica, California. ...
Born on Nov. 17, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, King was just an infant when her home was bombed during the turbulent civil rights era. ...
Speaking last January in Atlanta at Ebenezer Baptist Church - where her father preached for many years - Yolanda exhorted those observing the national holiday that bears his name to remember that America has not yet achieved peace and racial equality.
'We must keep reaching across the table and, in the tradition of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, feed each other,' said Yolanda, urging those who honor the Kings' work to question their own beliefs on prejudice and be a personal force for peace and love.

It's even sadder because it was so unexpected. We still don't know why. At a time when we need them the most, Atlanta has lost one of our ambassadors of peace. We all have.
