Martin Luther King III and Arndrea Waters King released the following statement on the devastating floods in Texas:
With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, we extend our deepest condolences to the families affected by the devastating floods in Texas. Our thoughts are especially with the precious children whose lives have been touched by this unimaginable loss and disruption.
In times of such sorrow, words can never fully mend the pain — but may they carry a whisper of comfort and solidarity. Please know that you are not alone. Across the miles, hearts are breaking with yours, lifting up prayers, and holding space for your grief.
To the little ones who are hurting or lost, and to the families who ache with worry or sadness — may you find moments of peace, rays of hope, and the gentle presence of love, even in the darkest hour. May the spirit of community rise like the sun after the storm, bringing hands to help, voices to comfort, and hearts to heal.
