ATLANTA (AP) - The first grandchild of slain civil rights leader
Martin Luther King Junior is a girl.
A family spokeswoman says the wife of Martin Luther King III
gave birth to Yolanda Renee King today at a hospital in Atlanta.
The spokeswoman says the mother and baby are healthy.
The baby was named after the civil rights leader's eldest
daughter, who died in May of last year.
Martin Luther King III was married shortly after his mother
Coretta's death in January of 2006, but the wedding was not made
public until this year.
He was the first of Martin Luther King Junior's four children to
marry and the first to have a child.
