Dr. Bernard LaFayette\, Jr.\, and David Jehnsen\, both of whom served on Dr. King’s staff in the 1960s\, and who sought to make lessons and tools from the Kingian legacy and the Civil Rights Movement period available for\npeople to address today’s conflicts\, concerns\, and conditions. \nThis two-hour event via Zoom will provide an initial introduction to the Kingian Nonviolence approach. \nFacilitators: Matt Guynn\, director of organizing\, On Earth Peace; Pam Smith\, executive director\, Addie Wyatt Center for Nonviolence Training \nPlease email UnityInTheCommunity20100@gmail.com for more information and registration\n  \nClick on the link to REGISTER \nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfLpRrbcuxhmgGmBQheRH0gXNIlh_d29Xjt-C-4j3sfNfXJFw/viewform?usp=pp_url
