Christine King Farris, the last living sibling of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., has died. Her niece, Bernice King, tweeted that her aunt died Thursday. She was 95. For decades after her brother’s assassination in 1968, Farris worked along with his widow, Coretta Scott King, to preserve and promote King’s legacy. She helped her sister-in-law build The King Center and helped to teach Martin Luther King Jr.’s philosophy of nonviolent resistance.
