Bernice King says she was born into a family of activism and believes in a balanced and strategic approach to addressing racial and social justice issues holistically.

“I come through a family who has lived under the threat– all the time of being killed and destroyed– even during my mother’s lifetime, and so I clearly understand the pain, the suffering, I’m a Black woman in America, ”said King.

The youngest daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King made those comments speaking on Wednesday’s edition of “Closer Look” while reflecting on the eruption of several violent protests this year following the police killings of multiple unarmed Black men and women.
