"We must learn to live together as brothers [and sisters] or perish as fools." Dr. MLK, Jr.

(Staten Island, NY)—In route for a prayer vigil and march in SELMA, during an exclusive early morning report, Alveda King, FOX NEWS Contributor, KING RULES author and Director of African American Outreach for Priests for Life tells FOX that "all eyes are now on Charleston. Violence is still looming and lurking." (Photo via Joy105.com)

Says Alveda King: "This isn't the time for violent riots or race baiting. It's time for prayer and leadership. Officials at all levels, mayor, police, governor, National Guard, congress, president need to pray and enforce peace and justice.

"By the way, evil knows no color. My grandmother Alberta King was shot down and killed by a crazed black man while playing the organ in Ebenezer Church in Atlanta in 1974. My mother Naomi King, Daddy AD's wife was in the ambulance with Big Mama when she died. We didn't riot, we prayed. Decisive prayerful and positive action is needed now! Granddaddy King said pray and forgive.

"Pray, don't riot. People are being slaughtered in the womb, in their beds, and, for God's sake, while worshipping in church. This isn't just about race. It's time for the human race of Acts 17:26 to PRAY FOR AMERICA!"
