Who We Are
Established in 1968 by Mrs. Coretta Scott King, The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change (“The King Center”) has been a global destination, resource center and community institution for over a quarter century. The King Center is a 501(c)3. Nearly a million people each year make pilgrimage to the National Historic Site to learn, be inspired and pay their respects to Dr. King’s legacy.
Students with King is The King Center’s flagship engagement platform for Elementary, Middle, and High School students. Offering a series of dynamic and inspirational programming, this initiative aims to empower teachers to bring the King Legacy into the classrooms while providing student-centered programming that supports literacy development, character-building, and social-emotional learning objectives. Through our core learning programs, students are introduced to the philosophy of Kingian nonviolence (what The King Center has coined Nonviolence365®) and gain important lessons about how to apply nonviolence in their immediate environments.
What We Do
Our mission is to empower people to create a just, humane, equitable and peaceful world by applying Dr. King’s nonviolent philosophy and methodology (Nonviolence365). We do this through research, education, training, advocacy and activism.
