Carter Won’t Let Cancer Get In The Way, Set To Mediate Dispute Between MLK’s Children

Former President Jimmy Carter is not letting brain cancer stand in his way as he is now set to mediate the ongoing dispute between the surviving children of Martin Luther King Jr. The dispute arose from the proposed sale of their father’s Bible and Nobel Peace Prize to a private buyer which is opposed by Bernice King and supported by her two brothers. The items originally belonged to the children but ownership was transferred to the estate as part of an agreement signed in the 90’s. Carter expressed hope that he could bring the siblings together which should be, based on his track record, a hope that comes to pass.
