Bernice King

Bernice Albertine King is an American minister best known as the youngest child of civil rights leaders Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King. She was only five years old when her father was killed. In her adolescence, King chose to work towards becoming a minister after having a breakdown from watching a documentary about her father. King waswhen she was invited to speak at the United Nations. Twenty years after her father died, she preached her trial sermon. Inspired by her parents activism, she was arrested multiple times during her early adulthood.

Bernice King was born on March 28, 1963, in Atlanta, Georgia. The day after she was born, her father had to leave for Birmingham, Alabama, but he rushed back when it was time for Bernice and her mother, Coretta, to leave the hospital. He drove them home himself but, in what was all too typical with the work he was doing, had to leave them again within hours. Following her birth, Harry Belafonte realized the toll the Civil Rights Movement was taking on her mothers time and energy and offered to pay for a nurse to help Coretta with the Kings four children. They accepted and hired a person that would help with the children for the next five or six years. Her father died only a week after her fifth birthday.
