Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece made an appearance on Fox News to address the rioting and violence that unfolded in Atlanta during the protest over the death of George Floyd.
“Our mayor here in Atlanta has done an incredible job telling people to go home,” King told “Fox & Friends Weekend.”
King continued, “She spoke with that authority as a mayor and a mother. However, all of us can calm this storm. Burning and looting are not good. It does lead to more violence: violence begets violence, so, I believe Martin Luther King Jr. said, ‘when injustice anywhere is a threat to injustice everywhere.’”
King said that though the death of Floyd, a black man who died while under police custody, was terrible, “the violence must be stopped.”
King went on to say, “I believe if Daddy was here today, or my grandad Martin Luther King Sr., my uncle Martin Luther King Jr. — go home and pray.”
She concluded, “Stop the violence.”
