Alveda King Joins Priests for Life Staff

Dr. Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King, Jr., has become a Pastoral Associate of Priests for Life. A pro-life advocate as well as a civil rights advocate, Dr. King will head up the Priests for Life Office of African American Outreach.

She also participates in the Silent No More Awareness Campaign (a project of Priests for Life and NOEL), through which she speaks about her own two abortions and how the Lord Jesus Christ has brought her forgiveness and healing. Alveda has stood with the Silent No More Awareness Campaign in Washington, DC and elsewhere at gatherings in which the women hold signs that say "I Regret My Abortion."

On her website, King For America, Alveda declares that like her uncle, she too has a dream about equality. But she asks, "How can the dream survive if we murder the children?"
