The first grandchild of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. was born Sunday in Atlanta. Martin Luther King III and his wife Arndrea Waters King welcomed a girl, Yolanda Renee King. The girl carries the first name of her father's sister, the oldest of the four King children, who died last year.

In a statement the new father says, "We are excited about our precious gift from God and cannot express how fortunate we feel to have our beautiful baby girl. It is truly the happiest day of our lives. I know my parents are smiling down from heaven,"

Congratulations! This is one legacy that deserves to live on.

Nobody Thinks More of Lil Wayne than Lil Wayne

In a recent interview rapper Lil Wayne, aka, Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., was asked about whatever and this was his response, "Darling, I don't care what nobody think. Talk to me like you talk to Martin Luther King or Malcolm X. You're not going to ask him about what he thinks about what somebody said about him. You ask him about his greatness, and his greatness only."

Um, okay. First of all, what kind of rapper calls people "Darling?" Second, he does realize that Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X actually played huge, important roles in both society and history, right? Granted, I don't listen to much Lil Wayne, but I can't imagine his lyrics are on par with King's 'Dream' speech. I can't imagine they're on par with KRS-One for that matter.
