Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., believes that the coincidence of Martin Luther King Jr. Day falling on the same day as Donald Trump’s inauguration is an opportunity to reflect on her father’s legacy while transitioning to a new administration. She emphasizes the importance of moving forward in the spirit of nonviolence and love, values championed by her father. The King family has been critical of Trump in the past, particularly in response to his divisive rhetoric and comments comparing his rally crowd size to Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic March on Washington. The family has urged Trump to reach out to all Americans, not just his supporters, in order to truly unite the country. This is not the first time that the King family has criticized Trump, as they condemned his disparaging comments about African countries during an immigration meeting in 2018. Despite their criticism, the King family continues to advocate for nonviolence and unity, echoing the values and principles that Martin Luther King Jr. stood for during his lifetime.
