Life..........

King said in an interview that this photograph was taken as he tried to explain to his daughter Yolanda why she could not go to Funtown, a whites-only amusement park in Atlanta. King claims to have been tongue-tied when speaking to her. “One of the most painful experiences I have ever faced was to see her tears when I told her Funtown was closed to colored children, for I realized the first dark cloud of inferiority had floated into her little mental sky.”

A parents worse nightmare, we struggle so hard to protect them from all pain. Some times we can’t and just have to show them how to get through; Dr. King did that with such dignity and grace.
