King Children Reach Deal in Estate Dispute
------------------------------------------



The three surviving children of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. have reached
a private settlement in a dispute over his estate. Dexter King’s two
siblings had filed a suit accusing him of improperly handling the
corporation that manages their father’s legacy. The deal avoids a public
jury trial that would have likely revealed extensive personal and
financial details about the King estate.
