Bernice Albertine 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 mother’s 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 a week after Bernice’s fifth birthday.

Bernice has said that the deaths of her grandmother and uncle caused her to have anger issues since she was 16 years old. At that age, she saw Montgomery to Memphis, a documentary film on her father’s life from the time of the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955 to his assassination in 1968, and “went through almost two hours of crying” and questioning. She had seen the film many times growing up, but the particular viewing “triggered an emotional explosion that later would thrust her into the arms of a loving God.” King reflected: “When I saw the funeral scene, I just broke down. I ran out of the cabin into the woods, and for nearly 2-1/2 hours, I just cried.” She credited the viewing with influencing her to become a minister like her father, who served as a minister at Ebenezer Baptist Church.
