Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and His Legacy of Non-violence
Presenter--Kurt Burch, Faculty in Political Science
The recent holiday celebrating
Martin Luther King, Jr’s birthday reminds us of his legacy as a civil rights
activist and as a spokesman for nonviolence. What principles of
nonviolence did MLK apply to the civil rights movement? How did his notions
of nonviolence differ from those of other advocates of nonviolence, such as
Gandhi? How is nonviolence a response not just to violence and injustice,
but also to power in general?
Kurt Burch, this week’s presenter,
received training in nonviolence at the MLK, Jr. Center in Atlanta.
