Institute for Nonviolent Social Change. Final Report.
Porter, Thomas; Saunders, Roberta
The report summarizes efforts of the Institute for Nonviolent Social Change toward the planning and design of nonviolent activities and programs capable of bringing about social change as discussed at a conference held in Atlanta, June 11th and 12th, 1971. To bring about a synthesis of various viewpoints and ideas this meeting was attended by not only activists of nonviolence, but also by distinguished scholars of the subject, representatives from other movements, and figures from politics, law, and public life. The conference dealt with a wide range of topics, issues, and perspectives, and descriptions of the latest academic research and firsthand accounts of movements and actions in progress are presented. In this final report a brief summary of a proposal for a project for the institute is given; a discussion of an Advisory Council meeting held to discuss the institute's purposes and programs is presented; publications of Martin Luther King and compilations of the Center are discussed; the problem of vigilence in the public schools is considered; the involvement of regional centers and universities in cooperative programs for nonviolent social change is reviewed; and strategies for mitigating violence in American factories are examined.
