How Meghan And Harry Celebrated Black-Owned Businesses On MLK Day

According to Bernice King, the youngest child of Martin Luther King Jr., Prince Harry and Meghan Markle arranged to have Black-owned food trucks set up at The King Center in Atlanta on Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Specifically, the trucks were Paige's Pastries & Bistro and Parlay Savory Saloon, and they offered staff members and volunteers free lunch (via The Hill).

"Thank you, Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, for providing local Black-owned food trucks for [The King Center's] King Day Community Service Project volunteers today. I'm so grateful for your graciousness in honoring my father," King wrote on Twitter.

Before his assassination, Dr. King had four children with his wife, Coretta Scott King, who died in 2006: Yolanda, who lived between 1955 and 2007; Martin Luther King III, who was born in 1957; Dexter, who was born in 1961; and Bernice, who was born in 1963, as reported by The Sun.
