Niece Of Martin Luther King Jr. Gives Speech At State Capitol

Hundreds of people gathered for Rose Day at the capitol Wednesday.

Pro-life advocates gave lawmakers roses to symbolize their beliefs.

Dr. Martin Luther King Junior's niece, Alveda King, was the keynote speaker. 

"Martin Luther King Junior said injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.  Don't be like the Romans who committed infanticide. When you value the human personality you won't kill anybody," said Alveda King.
