A. D. King and the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. She is the founder of the pro-life organization Speak for Life and is a 2021 recipient of the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>PFB<\/strong>: Dr. King, I\u2019d like to ask you to share your thoughts about the health of the family system in America. Larry Elder\u2019s movie <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Great American Race Game<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> emphasized the fact that in the fifties, the black family was in really good shape: beautiful families, the husband and wife were together, children were raised properly, and then welfare destroyed the family. I want to ask you about your prognosis for the black family in America, especially with things like Black Lives Matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>AK<\/strong>: I\u2019d like to talk about the American family. As an African-American woman, that\u2019s an ethnic description of who I am. I\u2019m part African, part Irish, and part Native American from the DNA test that we\u2019ve done in our family. I\u2019m a human being. I\u2019m not black or brown or red or yellow or white or any of that. I\u2019m a human being. I can see skin color, and you can see mine, but I am a human being. A one-race, one-blood human being. Out of Acts 17:26. So, I\u2019d like to speak about the state of the American family from that perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 1950s\u2014I was born on January 22, 1951\u2014the African-American family usually had a father and a mother who brought the children together and raised those children. There was a high percentage rate of that family model.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same model was true in the white community. I\u2019m sure that even the minority communities, such as the Asian or the Latino\/Hispanic communities, reflected the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That has changed from the 1950s for many reasons. [In] the African-American community, you see that the fathers were run out of our homes by the welfare system. Welfare checks that the mother received when the father was not in the home [were] much sought after. The family began to be weak because statistics show that the best model for a family is a male father and a female mother raising children together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The African-American family was targeted with abortion and the welfare system. What has hurt the Caucasian family? The rabid feminist movement, when the women began to say, \u201cI don\u2019t really need a man. I can raise children by myself. Women are equal to men. Women are just as powerful as men.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/black-pro-life-abortion-womb-nothing-matters\/\">Black pro-life leader on the crisis of abortion: \u2018If you can\u2019t get out of the womb, nothing matters\u2019<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Am I against the women\u2019s movement? No. I am a feminist myself. I agree that if a woman works, she should get the same paycheck as a man, doing the same job. However, when the women began to compete with the men and be angry with the men, divorce rates rose in America in every community to astronomical numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, you have fewer African-Americans who actually get married in the first place. But in the Caucasian community, for example, you see a high number of broken marriages. In the Christian community, you also see many, many broken families.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>PFB<\/strong>: With the Black Lives Matter movement, I was struck by the fact that it wasn\u2019t lifting up the focus on God and spirituality and the ethical morality that comes from that kind of God-centered religion. What are your thoughts about that?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>AK<\/strong>: During the peak of this Black Lives Matter movement, when the rioters were hurling [things], and people were fighting and demanding apologies from the white community, I prayed about it. I asked God, \u201cGod, what in the world do we say?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He said, \u201cWhen people say \u2018Black Lives Matter,\u2019 say \u2018I agree with you. God\u2019s love matters.\u2019 Say, \u2018It\u2019s simple: God\u2019s love matters.\u2019\u201d And then he said, \u201cBlack lives matter. Human lives matter, from the womb to the tomb.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I would say, \u201cI agree. Black Lives Matter. I agree 100%. And human lives matter, from the womb to the tomb, and God\u2019s love matters.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I found that people could not dispute the fact that God\u2019s love matters, that human life from the womb to the tomb matters. So, I did not just accept the narrative that was divisive, that Black Lives Matter. \u201cAll Lives Matter\u201d wasn\u2019t strong enough because it wasn\u2019t rooted in Scripture. \u201cGod\u2019s love matters\u201d is rooted in John 3:16. Human lives from the womb to the tomb matter; that\u2019s rooted in Acts 17:26. You use the Scriptural basis when you give your answers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>PFB<\/strong>: Bringing God\u2019s love into the conversation really changes things, doesn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>AK<\/strong>: It does. It immediately does because people can\u2019t really dispute that. \u201cWell, I\u2019m not talking about that!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I say, \u201cI understand. But God\u2019s love matters. John 3:16. He loves the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, I open it with that, and it diffuses the argument.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>PFB<\/strong>: Do you feel like there\u2019s a movement in the African-American community to come back to religion? In the Caucasian community, a lot of people are leaving religion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>AK<\/strong>: The African-American community is a very religious community. However, a community that is God-minded, relationship-minded, repentance-minded is not so strong in any community, whether African-American, Caucasian, Asian, Latino, or Native American.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right now, people are not necessarily seeking a relationship with God, a repentant relationship: \u201cGod, forgive me, help me forgive others, teach me to forgive myself, teach me to love, teach me to be kind.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re not speaking into the crisis with those truths. The more we speak into the crisis with those truths, people\u2019s hearts melt. And people go far beyond religion into relationships. We have to be that type of light-bearer that carries the truth that God is available to have a relationship with Him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>PFB<\/strong>: Your work with the abortion issue is so important. Do you sense that there is a positive change in families now, in the work you\u2019re doing, where people are moving toward God, or is it still very much a departure?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>AK<\/strong>: Statistics show that people are interested in life. Many people are in agreement\u2014you can look at the decisions that happened in Texas\u2014that when a heart starts beating at six weeks, that is a person. We must continue to identify the person in the womb as a person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>PFB<\/strong>: A lot of people will say that the child\u2019s spirit comes into the body at the moment of conception. What are your beliefs about that?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>AK<\/strong>: I have attended a church since 1987 called Believers\u2019 Bible Christian Church. Pastor Allen McNair, the founder, passed away in 2015, and his wife died a couple years later, so their children are now leading the church. Pastor McNair used to say, \u201cWell, if it\u2019s not a baby, leave it there, and nothing will happen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s the way I look at it. I don\u2019t even debate over whether it has a personality and breath and all of that, from conception until it\u2019s born. But it is a person from the very beginning. I don\u2019t debate over when the spirit enters the child or anything like that. I just really don\u2019t. I just agree with Pastor McNair. \u201cIf it\u2019s not a baby, leave it there. Nothing will happen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/black-pro-life-leaders-abortion-ending-lives\/\">Black pro-life leaders describe how the abortion industry is ending Black lives<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>PFB<\/strong>: What did he mean by that?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>AK<\/strong>: He said, \u201cIf it\u2019s not a baby, then why are we arguing? If it\u2019s not a baby, if it\u2019s not a human, don\u2019t do anything. Nothing will be born, and it won\u2019t happen.\u201d He said, \u201cThat\u2019s obviously a human, from conception. And if it\u2019s not a human at conception, if it\u2019s not a baby, leave it. Nothing will happen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>PFB<\/strong>: In other words, if it\u2019s not a baby, if it\u2019s not a human, then a human won\u2019t come out of the womb, right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>AK<\/strong>: No, it won\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>PFB<\/strong>: I see. That\u2019s a very interesting response. In your ministry today, what do you feel that you\u2019re the most focused on?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>AK<\/strong>: I\u2019m focused on the love of God and exemplifying the love and kindness and compassion of God. Through Jesus Christ, His Son, and the shared blood of Jesus, and the power of the Holy Spirit. It expresses itself in many ways. I\u2019m a Christian. I speak to policy. I speak in many arenas, and I do it all for the glory of God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>PFB<\/strong>: That\u2019s beautiful. That\u2019s beautiful. That\u2019s the most important thing, wouldn\u2019t you say?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>AK<\/strong>: To me, it is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>PFB<\/strong>: Thank you very much, Dr. King.
