One of the unexpected surprises of attending Morehouse Collge was going to classes with two of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's four children.
I remember always seeing Marty (noone called him Martin) out and about in the city. Then there were those student government meetings with Bernice, who was elected ASB vice-president at Spelman. And Dexter, who resembled King but had a reputation for never going to class, was just one of several "famous brothers" on campus who happened to smoke a pipe and snag this fine sister named Susan from South Carolina. My, times have changed!
Bernice King and Martin Luther King III filed a lawsuit Thursday in county court to force Dexter King to open the books of their father’s estate.
The lawsuit claims that Dexter King, the estate’s administrator, is refusing to provide his two siblings with documents concerning the estate’s operations. That includes financial records, contracts, financial affairs and other documents, the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit claims that Dexter King and the estate “converted substantial funds from the estate’s financial account … for their own use” on June 20 without notifying his siblings. The lawsuit also claims that Dexter King may have taken assets from the firm “for his own benefit” and that the assets may have been “misapplied or wasted.” Source
