The King's family saved his life.

Alberta Williams King, the mother of Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed in the church by Marcus Wayne Chenault six years after the association of her son (1974).  She was 69 years old.

Her killer was a 23-year-old black man from Ohio. He stated that he shot Mrs. King because she was a Christian and all Christians 'were his enemies'. His original target was Martin Luther King Sr., but his wife was closer to be reached.

<em>He was sentenced to death but it was because of the King's family that his life was spared.</em>  The Kings are firmly opposed to the death penalty so they pushed for his sentence to be changed into life in prison. Chanault died in prison after suffering a stroke.
