Yolanda Renee King, the granddaughter of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr., told the hundreds of thousands of demonstrators gathered for the March for Our Lives in Washington, D.C. on Saturday she has a “dream” of a “gun-free world.”
“My grandfather had a dream that his four little children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. I have a dream that enough is enough. And that this should be a gun-free world, period,” the 9-year-old said, a nod to her grandfather’s famous “I have a dream” speech in 1963.

King then led attendees in a chant to “spread the word” that “all across the nation, we are going to be a great generation.”
King is the granddaughter of the late civil rights leader and his wife, Coretta Scott King.
