Minnesota Historical Society King speaking to an anti Vietnam war rally at the University of Minnesota in St. Paul
Fifty years ago, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was killed while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee.
The restaurant is also asking businesses on U Street from 5th to 16th streets to place electric candles in their storefront windows from open to close on April 4th in remembrance of Dr. King.
"Barbara King was selected to present on behalf of the family (NOT MLK CENTER) as a sign of appreciation to the Nigerian President", part of the statement read.
The group in its statement berated the King's family for awarding Nigerian president a leadership award as it negates the ideals and principles of what America's foremost civil rights activist stood and died for. One of the guests is reportedly King's brother's wife and another a nephew as reported in the Daily Sun on Tuesday.
Isaac Newton-Farris, one of the organisers of the award, was later quoted in the media as saying Mr. Buhari is a foremost African leader who should be reelected in 2019.

But on its official tweeter handle, @TheKingCenter, the official living memorial to #MLK, founded by #CorettaScottKing to educate on nonviolence and build the #BelovedCommunity.
"The lie by President Buhari's handlers smacks of desperation by the Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC), to procure global endorsement, ahead of the 2019 general elections", the statement added.
"As part of the activities, they visited President Muhammadu Buhari and gave him a commemorative plaque for his fight against corruption and what they termed from the "Africania Diaspora" a term for Africans in Diaspora for which the oldest of them all Naomi". Hence, the chance to jump on a platform with the slightest connection to integrity was too good to turn down.
As at press time, The Presidency has not reacted to the development.
