MLK's children fight over selling Bible, Nobel medal: ATLANTA — It was a startling development in the latest legal wrangling among Martin Luther King Jr.'s heirs.
Speaking from the pulpit of King's former church, his daughter, Rev. Bernice King, said she no longer wishes to be lumped together in the public mind with her brothers, Martin Luther King III and Dexter King.
"We are different people, with different minds, different ideologies," she said Thursday at Ebenezer Baptist Church. "So please, please, please do not put us in the same category."
Bernice King, who heads the King Center next door, was responding to a lawsuit filed last week in which her brothers, as representatives of King's estate, are suing for the right to sell their father's personal Bible — used by President Obama at his second inauguration — and his Nobel Peace Prize medal.
