Dr. Alveda King on Fox Business: 'We Can Protest Peacefully and Still Respect Our Flag and the National Anthem'

Aimee Herd : Sep 28, 2017  FoxBusiness.com

"My daddy A.D. King, and my uncle Martin Luther King Jr.—in the 1960's—took the knee, however, they were actually praying..." -Alveda King

Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, was interviewed this week on Fox Business, concerning the NFL players' protests during the playing of the National Anthem. (Screengrab via FoxBusiness.com)

When asked what she thinks of President Trump's comments regarding the situation, Alveda King said, "We know that President Trump is draining the swamp and in the process he's stirring the pot. And as he stirs the pot, emotions are boiling. He did use some strong language, however, I've been called worse on Facebook and Twitter..."

"...We can protest peacefully, and still respect our flag, the National Anthem ... but we really need to step back, take a breather, and that's really what 'taking the knee' can help you do. My daddy A.D. King, and my uncle Martin Luther King Jr.—in the 1960's—took the knee, however, they were actually praying..."
