Quaker Activist Dwight Dunston Visits Westtown

Dwight Dunston, a West Philly-based facilitator, hip-hop artist, educator, and activist, gave an assembly for our 7th-12th grade students about his work and Kingian Nonviolence, a philosophy and methodology for nonviolent conflict reconciliation developed from the work of Martin Luther King Jr. During the assembly, he led a few exercises with the audience and volunteer panelists, which inspired reflection and conversation.

Dwight also visited history teacher Marissa Colston‘s Peace and Justice class and religion teacher Lara Freeman‘s Environmental Justice class to discuss Kingian Nonviolence, and there was also an open session in the South Room for students to drop in and talk with Dwight to learn more about his life and work.
