'Racial Justice and Nonviolence Education is a must read for any educator working to create a healthy culture in their classrooms, or for anyone working on peace building anywhere. Romano combines touching, real life stories along with theory to bring the philosophy of nonviolence to life. This book helps to keep Dr. King's legacy current and alive.' Kazu Haga, Kingian nonviolence trainer, Founder and Coordinator of East Point Peace Academy (Oakland, CA) and author of the book Healing Resistance: A Radically Different Response to Harm 'Weaving personal narratives with theory and practice, Dr. Romano offers compelling insights into the role of community-based educators in disrupting cycles of violence. In the process, he offers a sense of hope and optimism that applying Dr. King's principles of nonviolence will catalyze the dismantling of persistent barriers to racial and social justice.' Lynn Pasquerella, Philosopher and President of the American Association of Colleges and Universities 'When I last spoke with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the morning of the day he was murdered, we discussed the need to, in his words, better institutionalize and internationalize nonviolence. For that critical work to happen, we need nonviolence education that is relevant to people's lives today and supports transformative change. Arthur Romano has crafted a beautiful book that shows in intimate detail how everyday people are stepping up to advance nonviolent social change. This is a moving story focused on the dedicated and creative people who are facing serious obstacles to help build the beloved community and advance democratic values at a time when they are under threat.' Barnard LaFayette, American Civil Rights Activist, Distinguished Nonviolence Educator
