Nationally and internationally known as one of the most powerful, motivating and life-changing orators and speakers, Reverend Bernice A. King leaves audiences spellbound and challenged.
The youngest daughter of Coretta Scott King and the legendary Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. began her oratorical journey when she spoke in her mother's stead at the United Nations at age 17.
Reverend King is a graduate of Spelman College with a bachelor of arts in psychology and masters of divinity and a law degree from Emory University. She has received an honorary doctorate of divinity from Wesley College and a current member of the Bar of Georgia.
With a strong concern for community and family partnership, Reverend King served as a law clerk in the Fulton County Juvenile Court, where she interacted with troubled boys and girls. She realized a growing number of teens have been double victims: first of society and secondly of an ineffective legal system based in retribution instead of rehabilitation.
Cited in Ebony magazine as one of the "Ten of Tomorrow" in leadership, she is actually a strong leader of today. Her first book, Hard Questions, Heart Answers: Sermons and Speeches, was selected by USA Today as a "Best Bet." She is also the co-author of King Among the Theologians.
