Dr. Alveda King, niece of civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., also spoke at the National Organization for Marriage “Summer for Marriage” rally. King commented on how her family was pro-family, including her uncle and his wife Coretta Scott King.
In a somewhat ironic twist from the National Organization for Marriage’s Atlanta rally, a NOM-backed musical performance called for “unity” and for people to “stop tearing each other down.” Counter-protesters cheered during the song.
