Ashland Center for Nonviolence is honored to host Dr. C.T. Vivian for a special evening event celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Dr. Vivian was once a Christian journalist. However, he is best known for his work with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was National Director of Affiliates, and strategist for every Southern Christian Leadership Conference (S.C.L.C.) organization. He truly helped change the nation: His work in Birmingham helped win the Civil Rights Bill; in Selma, the Voting Rights Bill; and he was deeply involved in other movements such as Nashville, TN; Danville, VA; St. Augustine, FL; and Chicago, IL. Vivian had won his first non-violent direct action movement in 1947 opening restaurants in Peoria, IL
