In the late 1970s, the state and national economies were slumping and the Elba real estate business run by King’s father wasn’t generating sales. The annual vacation would have to be canceled, King recalled his father announcing at a family meeting.

“That was devastating news to a 10-year-old, so I asked my dad, ‘Well, whose fault is that?’ King said. “My dad explained, ‘Well, I guess the president. He sets economic policy.’”
