( CNN ) -- The daughter of the Rev . Martin Luther King Jr. said Thursday that her brothers wo n't take King 's Nobel Peace Prize and traveling Bible from her without a fight . Bernice King alleges her brothers Dexter King and Martin Luther King III want to sell the objects , and she told reporters that she wo n't stand by to let it happen . The slain civil rights icon 's estate -- controlled by his sons -- filed a complaint in Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta last week to force Bernice King to turn over the items . `` Not on my watch , '' she said at Atlanta 's Ebenezer Baptist Church , where her father preached . And to anyone who would shake their head at yet another court battle between the King siblings , Bernice has a message : . `` I would appreciate it if you would refrain from grouping me with my brothers , '' she said . `` They are my brothers , and I do love them . But we are different people , different perspective and different positions . And that should be respected . '' The complaint filed Friday says that King 's heirs agreed in 1995 to give up their inheritance to the Estate of Martin Luther King Jr. Inc. , but that Bernice King has `` secreted and sequestered '' the items in question . The estate wants the civil rights leader 's 1964 Nobel Peace Prize and his traveling Bible , which was used by President Barack Obama when he was sworn in for his second term . Bernice King said Thursday that her brothers told her on January 20 that they wanted the items so they could sell them . The complaint does not mention the possibility of a sale , and CNN 's attempts to contact the King brothers have been unsuccessful . `` I stand here in ( my father 's ) stead as biological and spiritual heir to say these items should never be sold to any person ... or any institution , because they are sacred , '' she said . `` We have no right to sell our birthright , nor the birthright of ( past and future ) generations , '' she said . Before Obama used it during his second inauguration , the Bible was on display at The King Center in Atlanta , Bernice King told CNN Thursday . She is the center 's CEO . She said she hopes to display it again , but for now is keeping it and the Nobel prize in a location she is n't disclosing . Her fight , she said , is not motivated by sibling rivalry , but by principal . And she said she hopes she and her brothers can reconcile . When a reporter asked where this would end , she answered : `` That 's the same question I ask God every day . '' This is not the first time the family has been at odds over King 's legacy . Over the years , the siblings have sued and counter-sued one another . Bernice King and Martin Luther King III sued Dexter King in 2008 , accusing him of converting `` substantial funds from the estate 's financial account at Bank of America '' for his own use . They later agreed to a settlement and avoided a public trial . CNN 's Dana Ford , Tristan Smith and Devon Sayers contributed to this report .
The civil rights leader 's estate filed a complaint to force Bernice King to turn over the items . In an interview with CNN, King's daughter said she was "shocked" by the allegations and that her family is considering legal action. `` Not on my watch , '' she says . The siblings have sued and countersued one another , including 2008 filing .
