January: Week Three

In honor of a nonviolence-based holiday we celebrate in the United States on the third Monday of January, this week we are looking at a letter by Martin Luther King, Jr., Letter from a Birmingham Jail.

Read the Letter Here. (You can also listen to him read it on this Youtube channel).

Reflection: How does a ‘new story’ emerge in King’s writing? What vision does he have of the human being?

Listen to/Read Transcript of this Nonviolence Radio interview with journalist Jonathan Eig about his book, King: A Life.

Reflection: How does Eig’s humanization of King impact your understanding of him?

Read and reflect on: Six Principles of Nonviolence from “Kingian” Nonviolence circles.
