In our final interview in our Community Defense series, we speak to two members of the Institute for Nonviolence Chicago (INVC) a non-profit organization working in community violence intervention and victim services. Like many others, not just within the Institute but around the nation, our guests strive to live by and apply Dr. Martin Luther King’s Jr’s philosophy of nonviolence. Listen as they explain the depth of this well-known but too often misunderstood philosophy and its usefulness in transforming individuals and neighborhoods around the city of Chicago.
