Bernice King, Martin Luther King III and Brother Dexter King Engaged in a New Legal Squabble Over DreamWorks' Upcoming Film about the Life of Dr. King

Written by Onelove on
The continued in-fighting among Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s children is a disgrace. Rev. Bernice King of all people should be ashamed of herself as a pastor and a litigious person at the same time. Apparently the latest dust-up comes courtesy of DreamWorks and the company's plans for the first big-screen portrayal of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life.

How Christian-like and I must add totally contrary to anything their parents would encourage. DreamWorks highlighted the project in a press release as the first theatrical motion ... Read Full Story

Glenn Beck Thinks He’s Martin Luther King
We knew he had delusions, but now they’re delusions of grandeur. If he had been around, Beck would have attacked MLK as a socialist “community organizer” and someone who wanted to “transform” the country.
