Selma Center for Nonviolence, Truth & Reconciliation

Selma Center for Nonviolence, Truth & Reconciliation Using Kingian Nonviolence, we work to heal & transform the root causes of violence, including racial & economic violence, & to build the Beloved Community.

The Voting and Civil Rights Movement in the deep American South has impacted the world. However, it gave hope toward promises that have not yet been fulfilled. In the 1960s, many leaders of the movement held a long-term vision beyond desegregation and the ability to simply participate in the voting process. They envisioned a nation, indeed a world, where the systems and institutions that governed

citizens and families were based on love and justice. For the Center, these and other key values are encapsulated in the primary values of nonviolence, truth and reconciliation. The architects of the Voting and Civil Rights Movement called this vision the Beloved Community. The Selma Center for Nonviolence, Truth and Reconciliation envisions the Beloved Community as a world where people’s similarities and differences are celebrated, and where policies in government and community institutions, as well as the culture they create, support fairness, equity, harmony, compassion and love in our interactions, as well as the sharing and preservation of resources for generations to come.

🧡 Wear Orange Day 🧡

Today, we join communities across the nation in recognizing Wear Orange Day, a day dedicated to honoring the lives lost to gun violence and standing with survivors, families, and communities impacted by it.

We believe that every act of violence leaves a lasting impact, not only on individuals but on the fabric of our communities. Our commitment to Nonviolence calls us to do more than react to violence. It calls us to build a culture where conflict is addressed without harm, where healing is possible, and where every life is valued.

Ending gun violence requires more than policies. It requires courageous conversations, strong relationships, community accountability, restorative practices, and a shared commitment to creating pathways to peace.

Today, we wear orange as a symbol of hope, remembrance, and action.

We honor those we have lost.
We support those who continue to heal.
We recommit ourselves to the work of building safer, stronger, and more peaceful communities.

Because nonviolence is not passive. It is an active force for change.
