The purpose of the “Ways to Justice” conference is to bring together prominent scholars and activists who share an interest in the methods of struggle used in grassroots justice movements.
A collection of historical anniversaries being marked in 2016, including the 50th anniversaries of the rise of the Black Power movement and founding of the Black Panthers, and of the release of the seminal film The Battle of Algiers, provide a frame for re-examining the challenges to nonviolent methods that arose in the 1960s and that reverberate in today’s struggles for civil and human rights. The conference also features student-organized workshops, live performances, lunchtime events, and film screenings.
The roster of participants includes Michael Nagler from the Metta Center. The conference is free and open to the public.

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?
