Rev. Bernice King, the youngest child of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, on Friday became the first woman to head the Southern Christian Leadership Conference civil rights organization co-founded by her father.
"I stand before you as a daughter of the civil rights movement calling forth the daughters and sons of the next generation of social change," King said Friday at Ebenezer Baptist Church, where her father preached from 1960 until his death in 1968. "I am a King, yet I am mindful that I am not the only one."
