“Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time: the need for (people) to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. (People) must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr., Nobel Prize acceptance speech Stockholm, Sweden, December 11, 1964 Nonviolence is aggressive and assertive to changing the institutionalized polices, practices and conditions that deny people their full dignity as human beings… Nonviolence resists; it challenges the peaceful nature of unjust conditions. ~The Leaders Manual on Kingian Nonviolence What is Kingian Nonviolence? Kingian Nonviolence is a philosophy developed out of the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by some of his close allies. It is a philosophy and methodology that provides the knowledge, skills, and motivation necessary for people to pursue peaceful strategies for solving personal and community problems. Kingian nonviolence has been used successfully in schools and prisons to reduce violence, in personal relationships to reconcile conflict, and in movements to create social change. Often mistaken for being simply the absence or opposite of violence, Nonviolence is, rather, a systematic framework of both conceptual principles and pragmatic strategies to reduce violence and promote positive peace at the community, national, and global levels. In recent history, nonviolence has come to be recognized as a significant alternative for students, communities, and whole societies to effectively deal with the conditions they face locally, nationally, and internationally. During the 20th century, the successful social movements of Gandhi in India and Martin Luther King in the United States led to greater public awareness of new dimensions of nonviolent conflict reconciliation.

Bernard Lafayette, Jonathan Lewis, Kazu Haga of the Positive Peace Warrior Network (PPWN) led a 2-day orientation to Kingian Nonviolence in Oakland, CA on September 22-23, 2012.

ABOUT THE 2-DAY ORIENTATION TO KINGIAN NONVIOLENCE Positive Peace Warrior (PPWN) nonviolence trainers will introduce community participants to the Kingian Nonviolence philosophy and the ways Kingian nonviolence, as espoused by Dr. Martin L. King, Jr., might be utilized to work with community leadership in nonviolent conflict reconciliation and story-telling. This 2-day orientation is designed to explore how the philosophy of Kingian Nonviolence has been used to prevent violence and identify violent prone situations. The course will focus on violence prevention and violent prone situations using the philosophy of Kingian Nonviolence. The 2-day educational program will introduce:

The Skill and the Will of Dr. King’s philosophy of nonviolence

Ways to incorporate the Kingian philosophy of nonviolence as an additional tool in their interaction at school, home and within their communities.

Participants will learn ways to:

De-escalate conflicts in interpersonal disputes.

Distinguish between constructive and destructive conflict that can lead to forms of violence.

Apply Dr. King's methodology and strategy to mobilize the six basic community leadership groups to effectively address conflict in the school and community.

Reframe issues in conflicts, so that the energy is directed toward --causes--not symptoms.

SUMMARY OF KINGIAN NONVIOLENCE TRAINING The training will use a modular learning format based on the Kingian Leadership Training Program. It will provide assistance in developing methods and techniques to address conflict nonviolently. The curriculum embodies the philosophy of nonviolent social change as applied to a broad spectrum of individual, group, institutions and systemic conflicts. The nonviolence educational program is being implemented with the intention of equipping community organizations and individuals with the tools necessary to create substantial change guided by the philosophy of nonviolence while we move into the 21st Century.

Kingian Nonviolence changes lives. North Lawndale College Prep High School, a school that has committed to Kingian Nonviolence, has seen a 90% decrease in violence on campus over 4 years. Bella Vista Prison in Colombia is now a nonviolent institution where inmates train local youth in nonviolence. And thousands of militant fighters in Nigeria have now put down their weapons and continue to struggle for justice through nonviolent means.
