Fellow activists, scholars, and dear friends, came together to celebrate David’s life of moral achievement as a dedicated nonviolent activist for peace, justice, and human rights. The USF Institute for Nonviolence and Social Justice established the annual Clarence B. Jones Award for Kingian Nonviolence to honor and give public recognition to the life’s work and social impact of a major activist who in their life has carried forward the principles and methods of nonviolence in the tradition of Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and King’s colleagues in the Black Freedom Movement of the United States during the 1950s and 1960s.
An extraordinary group of speakers, including some of the leading nonviolence activists and scholars in the United States, came together to celebrate David’s life of moral achievement as a dedicated nonviolent warrior for peace, justice, and human rights. Speakers included:

I hope you can join us on August 26 for this special celebration honoring David’s lifetime of nonviolent activism to fight injustice, oppression, and militarism and to help achieve the “beloved community” Martin Luther King Jr. envisioned.
