Malibu Home of Martin Luther King Jr.’s Son Listed at $6M

A Malibu home owned by the youngest son of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King has been listed for sale.

Dexter Scott King, who passed away in January after a battle with prostate cancer, served as chair of the Atlanta nonprofit King Center. The center was established by Dexter’s mother as a memorial aimed at continuing his father’s legacy, located next to the Ebenezer Baptist Church where his father served as pastor. Dexter King also served as president of the King Estate, which managed and licensed use of his father’s likeness.

Dexter King’s name comes from the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala., where his father served as a pastor.
