Bernice King, daughter of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., accused the Black pastor at President Trump’s inauguration of misusing the slain civil rights leader's "I Have a Dream" speech.
Bernice King, the youngest child of the civil rights legend and a staunch critic of Trump, argued Rev. Lorenzo Sewell "distorted" her father’s speech.
“I don’t deny the power of my father’s most well-known speech, ‘I Have a Dream,’” King posted on social media.
“However, its power and popularity (with focus on its conclusion) have been misused to weaken its clear messaging about ending racism, stopping police brutality, ensuring voting rights, and eradicating economic injustice.”
Sewell on Monday prayed “that America would begin to dream again" before launching into an echo of the conclusion of Martin Luther King Jr.’s........
