MLK Daughter Elected Leader Of Civil Rights Group Founded By Dad

And the Big Old Media... well, I haven't seen anything being reported by them, oddly.

But New News Media outlet CNS News is covering the significant milestone in the civil rights movement's history.

Atlanta (AP) - The Rev. Bernice King has been chosen as the first woman to head the civil rights organization co-founded by her father, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

The Southern Christian Leadership Conference announced her election as its eighth president Friday morning. Interim President Byron Clay called King and said she accepted the position.

(...)

Martin Luther King Jr. was the SCLC's first president, serving from 1957 until his death in 1968. His eldest son, Martin Luther King III, was president from 1998 to 2003.

(...)

Today, SCLC has roughly 10,000 members and nearly 80 chapters in 17 states from Georgia to California. The group has also opened a nonviolent conflict resolution center in Israel, with plans to open 10 international sites in 10 years.
Well...

...ISN'T OBAMA GOING TO SAY ANYTHING?

WHY NOT?!

WHY ISN'T IT BEING REPORTED IN THE BIG OLD MEDIA?!
