The children of the late Martin Luther King Jr. are back in court, this time over th selling of MLK’s travel bible and Nobel Peace Prize.

The items are currently in the possession of daughter Pastor Bernice King and the estate which is controlled by brothers Dexter and Martin III has filed a suit for her to turn them over.

Bernice King argues that her brother simply want to sell the item for money. Bernice King said in her statement that their father “MUST be turning in his grave” at the idea of selling his Nobel Peace Prize medal and his travel bible, which she said were among his most prized possessions.

President Barack Obama used MLK’s Bible for his oath of office during his ceremonial inauguration when he was sworn in for his second term on the King holiday last year.
