| Description: |
Clayborne Carson, director of the King Institute at Stanford University, has announced a major international conference on world peace and social movements to reduce the underlying causes of war. The two-day conference will take place on Friday, July 16, and Saturday, July 17, at Stanford, Carson said. Titled "Where Do We Go from Here: Achieving Global Peace with Justice in a Sustainable Environment," the conference will gather experts and social activists to confront the challenges facing those working for justice in the 21st century. King envisioned the development of today's global community and believed the world's future survival lay linking the moral and spiritual aspects of human life to the pursuit of social justice, Carson said. The conference will seek to create a global network of dedicated, nonviolent agents for social change, he said. Speakers include: Mary King of University for Peace, headquartered in Costa Rica; Vincent Harding, King advisor and Veterans of Hope director; Dorothy Cotton, former director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's Citizenship Education Program; educator Kiran Sethi, founder of Riverside School in India; Michael Nagler, founder of the Metta Center for Nonviolent Education in Berkeley; Eric Mann, director of the Labor/Community Strategy Center in Los Angeles; Clarence Jones, King associate and King Institute scholar; and King Clayborne Carson, Institute director. Tavis Smiley, public radio and television commentator, will moderate a nationally broadcast panel discussion. The conference will be held in Braun Auditorium, Seeley G. Mudd Chemistry Building, 333 Campus Drive, Stanford. All sessions are free and open to the public. Special seminars will be conducted on Saturday morning, July 17, for K-12 teachers.
