Ten Principles of Servant Leadership - Butler University. Coalition of Essential Schools | Coalition of Essential Schools. Teaching Tolerance. The Southern Poverty Business Model. Many of you out there have no doubt received in the mail desperate cries for help from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the do-gooder group that does very little good considering the vast sums of money it raises. But before you pull out your checkbook, make sure to read the following letter that Stephen Bright, an Atlanta-based civil rights and anti-death penalty attorney, recently wrote in declining an invitation to an event that honors Morris Dees, head of the SPLC. Kenneth C. Randall, Dean and Thomas L. McMillan, Professor of Law School of Law University of Alabama 249 Law Center Box 870382 101 Paul W.

Dear Dean Randall: Thank you very much for the invitation to speak at the law school’s commencement in May. I also received the law school’s invitation to the presentation of the “Morris Dees Justice Award,” which you also mentioned in your letter as one of the “great things” happening at the law school. Again, thank you for the invitation to participate in your commencement. Facing History and Ourselves. International Institute for Restorative Practices (IIRP) | Graduate education & professional development for education, criminal justice, social services, pastoral and other professionals.

About FMFP | Free Minds, Free People – Proposals. Free Minds, Free People is a national conference presented by the Education for Liberation Network that brings together teachers, young people, researchers, parents, and community-based activists/educators from across the country to build a movement to develop and promote education as a tool for liberation. The conference is a space in which these groups can learn from and teach each other by sharing knowledge, experience, and strategies. Education for liberation prepares the most disenfranchised members of our society, in particular low-income youth and youth of color, to fight for a more just world by: Teaching young people the root causes of inequalities and injustices in society, and how communities have fought against them.Having young people develop both the belief in themselves that they can challenge those injustices and the skills necessary to do that.Supporting young people in taking action that leads to disenfranchised communities having more power.
