The niece of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. said Monday she voted for Donald Trump for president.

Alveda King acknowledged her vote in a statement to the American Thinker blog. King spoke positively of Trump during the presidential race and is a Republican and pro-life activist.

The blog asked King if she believes Trump will be a pro-life president.

"I pray that all polar opposites learn to agape love, live and work together as brothers and sisters — or perish as fools. While I voted for Mr. Trump, my confidence remains in God, for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," King replied.

Monday is the Martin Luther King Jr. national holiday.
