King’s first mentor, renowned journalist Alice Bonner, taught him that hiding in an office would not advance the cause of other journalists of color. “She made sure I understood my responsibilities to learn, grow, and develop into the type of leader who could make the road smoother for other minorities in the newsroom and the generations to follow,” he says.
