“There is no cause for which I am prepared to kill.” M.K. Gandhi
The Nuclear Peace Age Foundation honored Professor Glenn Paige and Rev. James Lawson for their contribution to a culture of peace on October 27, 2010. Prof. Paige is a retired veteran of the Korean War and author of the Korean Decision (1968). Ten years later, he reconsidered his perspective in the Korean Decision with The Korean Decision Reconsidered (1978). He later founded the Center for Global Nonkilling and has dedicated his life to the attainment of a world were killing and threats of killing are no longer legitimate or necessary.
Rev. James Lawson was a leading nonviolence activist, organizer and strategist during the Civil Rights Movement. He played a role in the formation of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in 1960, legitimated by his successful sit-ins in Nashville’s downtown lunch-counters. He was a close associate of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

We provide educational resources on the safe and effective use of nonviolence, with the recognition that it’s not about putting the right person in power but awakening the right kind of power in people. We advance a higher image of humankind while empowering people to explore the question: How does nonviolence work, and how can I actively contribute to a happier, more peaceful society?
