Martin Luther King's first grandchild born in Atlanta hospital

Staff Reporter | Posted May 26, 2008 10:21 PM

Martin Luther King Jr.'s first grandchild was born Sunday at an Atlanta hospital, according to the Associated Press. The girl was named Yolanda Renee King, after the baby's aunt Yolanda, who died last year. She weighed in at 7 pounds 5 ounces, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The baby is the daughter of Martin Luther King III and wife Arndrea Waters King. The mother and baby are reportedly healthy. They left the hospital on Tuesday.
