{MLK's niece, a former state Rep., is a Republican}

Has she been disowned yet? The King family for the most part keeps to themselves. However, when they are in the public limelight, they can be very shrill.

In January 2001, Martin Luther King III came to speak at St. Sabina Church (A Roman Catholic Church for Blacks) in the south side of Chicago. During Sunday Worship Service, he ripped the incoming Bush Administration and urged Blacks to oppose the nomination of John Ashcroft as Attorney General. He made a church service into an anti-Bush political rally.

I don't know if she's been disowned, but she's hardly ever spoken about.

MLK III came to my school (it's a 50% minority population) in VA last year. He turned his "speech" to the kids into an anti-war message and an anti-Republican platform. After the speech I was very suprised by how many kids thought what he did was very inappropriate. There's hope yet...
