FREEDOM SCHOOL
Freedom School is an annual day-long workshop, celebrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Each year the Center for Peace and Justice Education hosts a Freedom School, honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Inspired by the 1960’s movement which aimed to counter and boycott continuing segregation in public schools, Freedom School is a day-long workshop focusing on various topics surrounding MLK’s vision and work. The entire Villanova community—staff, students, faculty—is invited to propose topics, and if accepted, to present during the one-day event. Each session lasts about an hour. Topics have included immigration, the possibilities and challenges of globalization, the rule of law and respect for human rights, affirmative action, education and social justice, peacebuilding and peacemaking, nonviolence and nonviolent social change, and the sins of racism and white supremacy.
