CIVIL-RIGHTS GROUP

With Coretta Scott King’s death this week, the fate of the civil-rights organization she founded in Atlanta after Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination rests with their four children, reports the Associated Press. Ms. King stepped down as head of the King Center in 1994, and over the last 12 years, her children have squabbled over the direction the center should take, as its facilities have fallen into disrepair. The center’s board, chaired by her youngest son, Dexter, voted in December to look into selling the building to the National Park Service—a move his siblings have vehemently opposed.
