Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece Alveda King said President Joe Biden’s speech in honor of the holiday that recognizes her uncle was the opposite of what he actually does.
On Sunday, Biden visited Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where MLK Jr. once attended. While there, Biden remembered the civil rights leader and said MLK’s dream has yet to be our reality.
“The battle for the soul of this nation is perennial. It’s a constant struggle,” Biden said on Sunday. “It’s a constant struggle between hope and fear, kindness and cruelty, justice and injustice, against those who traffic in racism, extremism, and insurrection, a battle fought on battlefields and bridges, from courthouses and ballot boxes to pulpits and protests.”

Yet Alveda King said the president’s words reminded her of a childhood game she called “Opposites,” where she would do the opposite of what was said.
“I believe that President Biden should put his actions, and his money, and his heart where his mouth is,” Alveda said on Fox & Friends Monday. “He is saying great platitudes, but what is he going to do about it?”
She also blasted “woke” narratives sweeping the country, saying they are “calling everything evil that this country was actually founded on and to say, ‘I care about America, but let’s just change the playbook totally and let people do exactly what they want to do whether anybody gets hurt or not’” is “wrong.”

Alveda also called a statue that depicts MLK hugging his wife, Coretta Scott King, which was unveiled in Boston on Friday, “a little weird.”
The statue has received both praise and criticism, with some reportedly calling it “horrible,” “hideous,” and “awful.”
