'I want you all to know that you don’t have to be your father, but, whatever you do in this life, be your best self.”
But her mother taught her and her siblings early in life she didn’t have to worry about filling anyone else’s shoes and to just be the best version of herself. “She would say, ‘I want you all to know that you don’t have to be your father, but, whatever you do in this life, be your best self’.”
Bernice King is a global peace advocate and the CEO of the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta. King works to advance her parents’ legacy of nonviolent social change through policy, advocacy, research, education and training. It’s under her leadership, that the King Center has initiated programs reaching more than a half-a-million people worldwide.
King says what’s most important is that when a group mobilizes to fight for a cause they need to work to change things by protesting not just a day or two, or a week or two, but until they get results.“We want to be able to draw from that higher level of thinking, other than our emotional selves. That emotion can be fuel. It was fuel for my father in the movement. Non-violence really was a way to channel the anger, and the hurt and the pain.
