HIstory

The curriculum for this workshop was designed by Dr. Bernard LaFayette and David Jehnsen. Dr. LaFayette was a Civil Rights Movement activist, minister, educator, co-founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), director of the Selma Voting Rights Campaign, and a close friend and confidant of Dr. King. Further, Dr. LaFayette's life work is an affirmative response to Dr. King's charge to him to "internationalize" and "institutionalize" nonviolence. The Kingian Nonviolence Trainings, based on this curriculum, have been taught and implemented nationally and internationally for over 3 decades! Peace Right Here proudly continues the legacy of Dr. King and the work of Dr. LaFayette.
