The City and Non-Violence

I guess the real question begins is that can a non-violent program of education and action work in the inner-city. In a place torn by gangs, structural and systemic racism and classism and a loss of respect for human life and a general spirit of disunity among people on the South Side of Chicago, is a revisiting of MLK's theology necessary and fruitful? I guess we will see. My hope is to begin looking at the question seriously within the next year with the youth group I am a part of as well as the church.
