Statement: Death of Yolanda King

Yolanda King used her artistic gifts to encourage peaceful social change. She celebrated the work of her parents and established herself as powerful civil rights advocate. She was a gracious performer and gifted speaker with a passion that inspired many to confront their prejudices and commit themselves to public change. Yolanda will be greatly missed by all those who benefited from her service. We are deeply saddened by this loss, and our thoughts and prayers are with the King family.
