What would Mahatma Gandhi or Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. do? For educators, especially those teaching K-12, that will be an issue of central concern as they participate in the Ahimsa Center's two-week, annual summer institute on nonviolence and social change. As part of the program, there will be three speakers, two of whom are set tol make open, public presentations. Bernard Lafayette Jr., an activist, minister and educator who stood with King and participated in the Freedom Rides, Selma and the Alabama Voter Registration Project, will talk Sunday with institute fellows about solving social ills with nonviolence; if space is available, others can attend for a fee. Clayton Carson, director of Stanford's Martin Luther King Jr. Research and Education Institute, will give a public talk Saturday on "King's Journey to Gandhian Nonviolence." And on July 25, Frederick Luskin, director of Stanford's Forgiveness Project, will host a free, public conversation, "Nine Steps to Forgiveness"; reservations are required.
