This family infighting has been going on for years. These men really need to go and get jobs. Dexter in particular has never done a hard days work in his life. All he does is find ways to pimp his fathers legacy.
Someone who went to Morehouse College with one of them once told me that they have a LOT more collectibles including some from the day of the assassination, just waiting to be put on the auction block when they get the sister out of the way. Selling the Bible really is stretching the limit of what is decent though, and I do not consider myself a big time Christian.
Anyway hopefully somebody like Oprah or Cosby will buy it and donate it back to some museum.

Bernice King blasts brothers’ plans to sell MLK Bible

The daughter of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said Tuesday (Feb. 4) that she will fight her brothers’ attempts to sell their famous father’s Bible — used at President Obama’s second inauguration — and King’s Nobel Peace Prize medal.
The Rev. Bernice King, the youngest of the four King children, posted the statement about her father’s “most prized possessions” on her Facebook page, saying, “I am absolutely opposed to the selling of these extremely sacred items.”
She and her brothers, Martin Luther King III and Dexter King, have been in and out of court for years over various disputes about their father’s estate. Bernice King is CEO of the King Center in Atlanta, but her brothers have charge of their father’s estate.
