As America marks both the presidential inauguration and Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 20, 2025, the nation finds itself at a crossroads. January has witnessed devastating wildfires in California, a terrorist attack in New Orleans, and the death of former President Jimmy Carter.
In these challenging times, Dr. Alveda King, niece of the civil rights icon, urges Americans to embrace hope and work toward a future of positive change and new beginnings. She emphasizes that the American Dream is for everyone, with equal freedom and opportunity to succeed. As Chair of the America First Policy Institute’s Center for the American Dream, King calls for unity, exhorting Americans to support one another, recognizing that we are all one blood and one human race, from the womb to the tomb and beyond.
“When peripherals collide, convergence is imminent,” she said. “The convergence of these events cannot be just a coincidence, and January’s March for Life in particular gives us a chance to reflect on the progress we have made in the movement.”
King invites Americans to join in prayer for the nation during this new season of promise: “Through our prayers, our hope and our continued hard work, we can finally rejoice that there is a light at the end of the tunnel,” she said.
As founder of Alveda King Ministries, she uses her God-given talents and abilities to glorify God and uphold the sanctity of life. King serves as a board member and senior advisor to Priests for Life and is a voice for the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, sharing her testimony of two abortions, God’s forgiveness, and healing.
King is the daughter of the late slain civil rights activist Rev. A. D. King and Mrs. Naomi King; the granddaughter of Rev. M. L. King, Sr. and Mrs. Alberta King; and the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As a Christian evangelist and author, she is the founder of Speak for Life and currently serves as a Fox News Channel contributor. In commemoration of Martin Luther King Day and what would be her uncle’s 96th birthday today, her ministry will package 25,000 meals for Haiti, reflecting the spirit of service and unity her uncle championed.
