The Six Principles of Kingian Nonviolence, Then and Now. Episode Five - Avoid internal violence of the spirit as well as external physical violence.

The gains made by the Civil Rights Movement under Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s leadership demonstrate what can be accomplished through strategic nonviolent action. But how much do we really know about MLK and the nonviolent activism of the Civil Rights Movement? How do we continue to move King’s vision forward in our world today? Join host Jarren Peterson Dean and guest Peter Digitale Anderson in an exploration of the moral values and beliefs that guided MLK's life and activism. Each episode in this series features one of the six Principles of Kingian Nonviolence and includes queries for further reflection.
