Introduction<\/em><\/p>\n

26 Jan 2018 – <\/em>The annual memorial holiday on January 15, 2018, celebrating Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.\u2019s enduring contributions to peace and justice, has passed.<\/p>\n

The events of the day linger in our minds, eternally grateful for Reverend King\u2019s efforts to free people and nations from the brutal oppressions imposed by governments, nations, societies, organizations, and individuals, who willfully continue to support and sustain the evils of racism, prejudice, violence, and war.<\/p>\n

Reverend King\u2019s commitment to freedom from oppression and abuse compel us to continue his efforts far beyond the words, songs, and promises of his day.<\/p>\n

To this end, we, (i.e., Kathy Malley-Morrison & Anthony J. Marsella), the authors of this article, have chosen to demonstrate our responsibilities to continuing the work of Reverend King, by identifying 100 living peace and social justice leaders and models.<\/p>\n

The number is arbitrary for there are tens of thousands more who deserve citation. Many are not listed, but will be listed in future efforts. Do not be dismayed! Patience! We believed it essential to create a dynamic list of living peace and justice activists and advocates to encourage peace and justice work.<\/p>\n

The individuals included on our list are from all genders, ages, roles.\u00a0 They are from many nations, ethnocultural groups, and \u201craces.\u201d \u00a0We sense a rising tide of commitment to peace and justice, and an intolerance of the corruption, cronyism, and asymmetric power sustaining current abuses.<\/p>\n

We consider our efforts a beginning, and we will continue to publish new lists. This is because the struggle for peace and justice is endless, and each day new people are rising to the call.<\/p>\n

This is as it should be, and must be, until such time the forces of oppression yield to the forces of good; evil will continue, but human virtue, endowed in conscience will triumph! While the work of many included will be recognized, some of those listed may not be apparent. We have attached website<\/em> information after each name to offer insight into their efforts.<\/p>\n

Before sharing our list, however, we wish to include two charts offering graphic displays of essential material for understanding and appreciating living leaders.<\/p>\n
