Martin Luther King Jr.’s daughter Bernice King has called for nonviolent protests following the death of George Floyd, after days of rioting and looting across the United States.

Speaking during an Atlanta city briefing on May 30, the youngest child of the late civil rights activist said she sympathized with Floyd’s 6-year-old daughter, having lost her own father when he was fatally shot at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1968.
