On March 13, Wheatley Institute, along with the BYU Religious Education Department and the Peacemaker Project, welcomed Dr. Lawrence E. Carter to BYU campus for an inspiring speech on the necessity of active pursuit of world peace, outlining steps students could take towards establishing peace in both their personal lives and in a global community.
"If we are going to give peace a chance – with our neighbors – our cities, states, the nation – or the world – we need an inner revolution of values. That is the real movement required for peace – a movement of the mind, heart, and feet."
Dr. Carter is a historian, author, professor and founding dean of the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel at Morehouse College.
