Donzaleigh Abernathy is an American actress, author and civil rights activist. Abernathy was born in Montgomery, Alabama and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia during the Civil Rights Movement. The Abernathy children, along with the King children, integrated Spring Street Elementary School and began mass integration in the South. Abernathy briefly attended the Northside High School for the Performing Arts, before attending and graduating from George School, a Quaker Prep School in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.[4]
Her father was Rev. Ralph Abernathy, an influential leader in the civil rights movement, and her mother was the civil rights activist Juanita Abernathy.[5] She was able to join her parents and witness first-hand many significant events of the civil rights movement.[6] Her family was very close to that of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., another prominent figure of the civil rights movement. The Abernathy and King children went to school together, performed extracurricular activities together, spent Sunday dinners together, and spent vacations and various holidays together. According to Abernathy herself, children from both families would hold performances for their parents on these occasions with Yolanda King, one of King's daughters, acting as the director and Dr. King filming the performances. Abernathy has stated that "that's really when [she] started acting."[7] She is married to actor/producer Dar Dixon Bijarchi.
