The Essential Practices of Nonviolent Resistance

The Kenilworth Community and Kenilworth Presbyterian Church will observe the 15th Annual Kenilworth Celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on Sunday, January 19, 2025, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Kenilworth Center, 4 Chiles Ave. in Asheville (behind Kenilworth Presbyterian Church).

This year’s event is a two-hour workshop on the Practices of Kingian Nonviolence, a philosophy of nonviolent conflict reconciliation in the tradition of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the organizing strategies of the Civil Rights Movement. Come and learn about the transformative power of nonviolence as a way to address community issues and build a just and peaceful world.

The workshop will be facilitated by Valerie Helbert, a program coordinator at the Center for Reconciliation (CFR) at Duke University’s Divinity School and a Level One Certified Kingian Nonviolence trainer. Our host will be Marvin Chambers, a founding member of A.S.C.O.R.E. (Asheville Student Committee on Racial Equality) and an icon of the sit-in protests in North Carolina.

DJ Profe$$ah G will be spinning great tunes. Come out for food, fellowship, and empowerment as we move forward together!

The workshop is free, but reservations are requested to ensure sufficient food and printed materials. For more information and to RSVP, contact Katie Adams at (828) 273-3747 or [email protected].
