Lora Dene King was born to Rodney King. Her life has been misfortune assuming that her dad was brutally killed and she has not been able to win justice for her deceased father.

In this article, we will be talking about  Rodney King’s daughter Lora Dene King and her fight against the injustice to bring justice to her deceased father.

What’s With All The Struggle?

Lora’s dad was brutally killed by a police officer. The police officers of LAPD brutally beat him up when they arrested him for driving rules violation. The brutality was so brutal that her daughter Lora is still fighting to bring justice to her father.

Who Was Lora’s Dad?

Rodney King was the biological dad of Lora and was born in 1965 and died in 2012. He was found dead drowning in his swimming pool and his fiancee discovered his body. When Lora’s dad was taken to the hospital, the doctors declared him dead on arrival. Lora’s dad Rodney was an American activist and a popular victim of LAPD police brutality.

Profession

Lora is now a founder of a non-profit organization “Rodney King Foundation”, which is in memory of her late father. She is also a public figure and a public speaker along with an advocate to the youth.

A Life Dedicated To Her Father

Following Lora’s dad’s death, she has dedicated all her life towards bringing justice and awareness to the public. She is dedicated to making a good memory of her father in the mind of every person. That’s why she has become an activist just like her dad and has founded a non-profit organization that reminds of her dad and is a legacy of Rodney.

Who Is Lora’s Mom?

We have no details on the date of birth of Lora and Rodney, who was her father had married twice. So it’s very difficult to figure out who is the biological mom of Lora. But still, we have two possible options- Daneta Lyles and Crystal Waters.

What Exactly Made Lora’s Dad So Famous?

Even though Rodney (Lora’s dad) was an activist, he wasn’t much popular until his case of police brutality came into light. We found that Rodney violated driving rules while driving and the LAPD caught him. When asked to stop, Rodney tried to evade and this triggered the police officers to get brutal. The police caught him and started beating him as Rodney was laid on the ground. Someone living near the area where all this happened recorded everything on the camera and made it public.

As the video got viral, several riots started erupting because they felt that the brutality that Rodney faced was related to racism. Since Rodney and Lora are blacks, the people felt that Rodney was a victim of police brutality because of his ethnicity.

Conclusion

We can conclude that Lora has given up on all the worldly desires and is more focused on her father’s justice struggle. She has given up on the peaceful life that she could have otherwise enjoyed if her father wasn’t beaten up. However, we feel that perhaps Rodney could have submitted to the police since he was driving illegally and should not have tried to escape when the police approached him. This way he could have easily avoided any brutality or mishaps.
