Martin Luther-King's daughter suggests 12 ways to fight Donald Trump
Bernice King’s Facebook post suggests that people refer to 'Republican Administration' instead of naming the president
Human rights icon Martin Luther King Jr’s daughter has suggested ways in how to oppose the Donald Trump administration.
Bernice King recommended people use the president’s name “sparingly so as not to detract” from it.
The 53-year-old also ruled out arguments with Mr Trump's supporters because “it doesn’t work”.
Writing in a Facebook post, Ms King who followed her father's footsteps into the ministry of the Baptist Church, amended a similar message that had been circulating on social media.
“Use his name sparingly so as not to detract from the issues,” said Ms King, who was five-years-old when her father was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee.
“I believe that everyone, regardless of their beliefs, deserves the dignity of being called by their name. However, this is a strategic tactic.”

Ms King said last month, that her father would have tried to meet and talk with Mr Trump to debate with him head on.
However, her older sister Alveda King, 65, has previously admitted that she voted for Mr Trump.
Ms B King’s Facebook post also recommended people refer to “The Republican Administration” instead of naming Mr Trump.
