Today, We Remember Lives Lost to Senseless Violence

Dr. Alveda C. King By Friday, 15 July 2016 12:45 PM EDT Current | Bio | Archive

Today, in France, across America, and around the world, we are mourning, grieving, yet trusting in God. In Nice, France, 84 lost their lives to a horrendous terrorist attack.

In America, there will be memorial services for men who lost their lives in an American tragedy last week.
 
There are rumors of more rage-filled protests, and there are rumblings of prayer and praise abounding. We mourn with the families of the deceased and implore Americans and people of faith in God around the world to unite as the Acts 17:26 "one blood" in repentance, love, unity and kindness to avert more violence and bloodshed; for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness from the womb to the tomb. Remember— God's love matters for every human being.

Dr. Alveda C. King grew up in the civil rights movement led by her uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. She is director of African-American outreach for Priests for Life and Gospel of Life Ministries. Her family home in Birmingham, Ala., was bombed, as was her father's church office in Louisville, Ky. Alveda herself was jailed during the open housing movement. Read more reports from Dr. Alveda C.
