She is the wife of Rev. A. D. King, Sr., brother to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Because she walks in the grace and distinction remindful of her beloved butterflies, she has acquired the noted title of the “Butterfly Queen.” Like the butterfly, Mrs. King brings beauty and joy to everyone around her. Colorful and talented, she uses her creativity to handle life’s most difficult tasks; and manages to put those near her at ease in the process. “Jesus is my anchor, and I praise God for His love and blessings,” she often proclaims.
Naomi considers her ultimate calling has always been that of wife, mother, and First Lady. With the support and guidance of “Daddy King,” she married AD and they began their family. They would parent five children, and together become the “quiet support” of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; a leader of the Civil Rights Movement of the 20th Century.
Today, Mrs. King is a beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, relative, friend, comfort and bright light to those in the church and communities she serves. Naomi is the inspiration of the documentary project AD King: Brother to the Dreamer. She is an author who speaks out on important issues of the day.
