Arndrea Waters King

Civil Rights Advocate and President, Drum Major Institute

As a passionate leader in the global fight against inequity, injustice, hate crimes, and all forms of pain Arndrea Waters King has worked tirelessly on behalf of those who have been marginalized by helping them find — and collectively use — their voices for change.

Early in her career, Arndrea had the unique opportunity to be mentored by Dr. C.T. Vivian, a lieutenant of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. which shaped her nonviolent approach to activism and ignited her passion for youth activism.

Arndrea's contributions to making the world a better place include playing a key role in mobilizing the Georgia Hate Crimes Act, Leading the March On for Voting Rights, digitizing the works of Dr. King in collaboration with JP Morgan Chase and helping build a major multiracial collaboration known as the Southern Coalition Against Racism and Bigotry.

A sought-after speaker and media guest, Arndrea has appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe and Politics Nation, Good Morning America, Good Morning Australia, NBC Nightly News, and CNN.com. A natural-born orator, who speaks with passion and compassion, she has spoken at countless events and marches and always leaves the audience feeling delighted and inspired by her deep thoughts and big ideas.
