MLK’s granddaughter: ‘We’re not where we’re supposed to be’

The 9-year-old granddaughter of Martin Luther King Jr. said she believes her grandfather would think the country still has more work to accomplish if he were alive today.

“I think that he would be impressed about all the work that we’re doing,” Yolanda Renee King said during an interview Wednesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “But we’re not where we’re supposed to be.”

Her comments came on the 50th anniversary of her grandfather’s assassination.

Yolanda made headlines last month after she spoke at the “March for Our Lives” rally in Washington, D.C.

During the event, she invoked her grandfather’s words in her call for gun control.

“My grandfather had a dream that his four little children would not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character,” she said. “I have a dream that enough is enough and that this should be a gun-free world, period.”

During the Wednesday interview, Yolanda’s mother said it was “difficult” to watch her daughter take after Martin Luther King Jr.

“It was a bit difficult but because she has been so interested in the issue for so long and so passionate about it and wanted to do it, it was natural,” Arndrea King said.
