Dr. Alveda King took the message that the civil rights movement of today is the pro-life movement to Dublin at the invitation of Gay Mitchell, Member of the European Parliament from Ireland. Mr. Mitchell warmly welcomed Dr. King and introduced her to members of the Irish Parliament, including Enda Kenny, leader of the Fine Gael party.
 

 Dr. King visited the library and learned that her grandfather King's father, James King, is in the Ireland Census Registry listed in Cork, confirming her great aunt’s assertion that the King family is part Irish.
