Martin Luther King Jr.'s homes to be preserved by National Park Service 

I was 23 yo when Martin was shot I remember I cried so much😥because he was a a great human being and Peacefull.

Ms. Farris was like don't try me. 😂

When I was growing up my mom and dad had 9 kids and we always ate together and said grace together but not today

Wow Mr Smith is Rich black man making a difference in the world 👏👏✊ ...!!!!

Best part-When the interviewer asked why did they sit down to dinner every night and the look on Lady Christine's face when she answered her with "why?", "I guess it was a tradition"!! It was just the way families ate Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner , with Sunday being the biggest dinner day, this is a tradition that needs to return Everyone sitting at the dinner table.... That food on the table looks good too...LOL

You are GREAT Mr Smith May God Bless your efforts to keep legacy alive for Black people and the world

I took my family here on yesterday. It was amazing to see and experience the way things were back during that time. I could imagine young MLK running around the yard and house with no one knowing what he'd become in just a few short years.

My family and I toured that home in March of 2016. I want to tour it again soon ❤

2:08 You don't question the damn elders lol

Martin Luther King lived a very frugal life,and his wife and children went without many "creature comforts" , because Martin Luther King believed in "the movement, not the money"...I am very honored to say that now, his children don't have to want for anything. And that is exactly as it should be..God bless Martin Luther Kings children forever, and may they keep on passing his legacy to America.."Keep the Dream Alive". Ila E. Williams Spelman'74

That’s great that they are doing this so we all can learn about hero’s like him did in this country. Martha Luther King is someone I really look up to

Wish people had this much love on MLK day .

At first, I was thinking that the reporter asking Ms. Christine King-Farris, "why?" after Ms. King-Farris shared memories of the family sitting at the dinner table every night together, was a dumb question to ask. However, I realized that the reporter, perhaps, came up in a different era where memories like these are unheard of.

Thank you Robert F Smith.

Thank you

ROBERT F. SMITH thank you for preserving the legacy of our people. As a child, I grew up eating daily at the table with my family and listend to the course of the day of my parents and they listened as I told them about my day at school. ❤🙏

Thank you Mr. Smith for preserving African American history in purchasing the MLK Jr., Harriet Tubman, and Frederick Douglass’ homes. You have an awesome vision and purpose. God bless you.

Very beautiful home. Blessed and highly favored. Sealed.

Right On!!!!

Wow I miss Martin Luther King. Month of late the King was amazing amazing God bless his family. 🙏🙏🙏

Wonderful.

Thank you Mr Smith for stepping up.

Perfect

This definitely inspired me.

I just love this

I believe that one day one time in my lifetime... i will surely visit this great home of M.L.K Jr. Ph.D

Just beautiful I love it

Thanks Mr Smith

Beautiful story

God bless the giver. Sealed.

Wow!

Thank you Mr Smith for restoring this landmark

God bless u mr smith

😢 wow...❤❤

Taking time with family at the table is important even if you are not hungry. Just sharing moments together means so much. We have different work schedules but we make sure to take care of each other.

So amazing, and Bernice and queen latifah favor each other

I like how Robert Smith came forward with the donation. Michelle Miller come on, back in the day families sat at the table at dinnertime, not watching TV or other things, the man of the house always took charge. I wished some of the so called "Bling", "Bling" celebs, jocks, and other famous people take note, especially the "Happy Meal" generation (those who were born after 1979), we should embrace our history more than ever.

I hope Leslie Knope gets to manage this location

i wish i was in that house

Mr. Robert F. Smith wishing you many Blessings in your life for your kindness and generosity...Thanking You 👏🏼🙏👏🏼.

Long love Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, III

Great civil rights leader

Can Mr.Smith be our president?

Nice

Did she really just ask Why ? Wtf

🙏🏿✊🏿👏🏿👑🕊😭

Bernice is awesome

At least he's doing this starting small. Better than schools my daughter said the teacher wants her to do the facts that's it. Not important info on his life on anyone's life during that time.

@2:08...Contemporary interviewers ask questions these days that don't seem relative to standard reasoning. One interviewer asked Chris Rock's mother why she said she was affected by the "slap that was heard around the world".

Vous les traduire en francaisq

i believe he got C because he was black , i will be willing to bet had he been white he would have got a A plus in speach. he was a well dressed man and spoke very well and clear.

Who got the 1.9million? Did the family since that was their home? Does the city? In which case why did they have control of the house? So many questions about the 1.9mill value?

R.i.p mlk😭😭😭👼🌹

❤❤💙💙💜💜

Robert Smith put his MONEY where his MOUTH is ! a true GREAT MAN!

Robert Smith paid off loans for nearly 400 students.

I dont think she should have sold her inheritance. If Mr. Smith dies what will happen to the house,?

After watching this whole video it was clear it's still gonna take a long time and be a difficult, nigh incommunicado speech way for everyone to understand the dream MLK J. had because of this video that I didn't watch all the way through because it made him and the dream look bad fairly quickly on. One day we are going to accomplish this dream, and let it be known forevermore that those statistics and numbers are hilariously just that. I guess for some people some guy died a long time ago that did some stuff. Gosh darn this difficult world. It's amazing. Luckily, I got this and will continue ALWAYS. Good luck all chumps who read this. Luckily, it's all way easier for me. Ask thyself, did you have a dream, or do you still? It's a super level up if you're reading this.

You guys all ate the table during dinner? Why Ummm

Surprised he made C’s how insulting people

This is all a fabulous achievement, Mr. Smith; however, it's really sad that the majority of African Americans will never visit

This may be difficult to understand but even history proves that the "white" girl and "white" women are easier to reach and the "white" man and white men and such. (And to prevent also of course) it's a big obvious thing

🤛🤜🤲🤜🤛

What about Malcolm X's burnt down home 😥

I appreciate this commentary, donations and the presences of everyone at the table . . but when asked about his mission, why didn't he mention OUR Ancestry 💚🖤💛❤️

the national Park service took over Martin Luther King jr. Childhood home years ago was because the real King family couldn't take care of it, are they were letting her go downhill some like that that was years ago... Let's just say they weren't doing a good job...

"you don't allow grades and people's opinions"...Spelman'74

Isn't it the place where the Lord Christ was born, that the people wanted to visit to see? Then who is King that the people seek the same? Is he not the Lord Christ who came into the world as a savior to his people? And is it not the Lord Christ who we laid to rest in a tomb in a place that was preserved for him to be laid at where no other man had ever been laid before and placed a stone covering at the face of his tomb? And suffered not to put his body into the ground! Surely, he is the Lord who was among us in the flesh. We even witnessed him when he gave his famous sermon on the mountain according to the scriptures when he stood upon capital hills in Washington DC.! Calling the famous sermon "I Have A Dream! And he is the Lord Christ who the God of heaven Jesus has commanded that we set aside a day of each year to honor the name of our Lord for the works that he did on our behalf. And that we are to gather together with our children and grandchildren in remembrance of him. And this is why you have set up in MLK'S name a National Holiday because it is the name of the Lord Christ. And we do gather together with our children and grandchildren each year in remembrance of him. And he is the Lord Christ in which the God of heaven Jesus commanded that we were to bear the name of the Lord Christ upon a pole in every city and town no matter how large or small they may be. And this is why you have MLK'S name beared upon a street sign pole in every city and town in America no matter how large or small they may be. I don't care if it's a Street, Boulevard, Highway, Road, Avenue, or an Alleyway it is the name of MLK beared on the pole sign. "WHY" because it is the name of the Lord Christ, our savior, that the Lord God Jesus gave to us.

LMAO THEY GOTS FRIEDS CHIKINZ ON DA DINNA TABEL LMFAO BOI DEZZ WYTE PPL GOTS ME ROLLIN

I wonder if Gail's Husband cheated on her, if she would still do this story.

I can't with Gayle, negative Nancy, cancel Gayle

You sold everything else. I think even his bibke

The journalist is weird and she doesn't fit well into this story

Unfortunately the family has sold out his legacy for money...
