Today, our family has learned that President Trump has ordered the declassification of the remaining records pertaining to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy, and our father Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

For us, the assassination of our father is a deeply personal family loss that we have endured over the last 56 years.

We hope to be provided the opportunity to review the files as a family prior to its public release.
