King family fight

On the way out of town for a couple of days, but here's what I'm thinking about and didn't have time to write yet:   the three survivng children of Martin and Coretta King are back in court, yet again in a squabble over who controls the legacy and the assets of the King estate.

This time it's Martin III siding with brother Dexter, in the controversy over his wanting to sell at auction their father's Nobel Peace Prize medal and his Bible.   Both of these might be considered sacred relics by some, including sister Bernice who had possession.    But now a judge has ordered her to turn them over to the King estate until they can work out an agreement between them.

More about this later.   It just seems such a shame that the legacy of one of the most noble and courageous men in our nation's history would be tarnished by his own offspring.   

I'll write more about this later.
