Dewberry's pilgrimage to nonviolence began at the age of 14, when he traveled from Detroit, MI, to Atlanta, GA, to study Kingian nonviolence. Since his introduction and certification of Kingian nonviolence, Dewberry has trained thousands of young people and adults in Detroit, Florida, Georgia, Washington, DC, and a host of other places. This summer he will conduct trainings in South Africa and Switzerland.

Sometimes schools and organizations don't have resources to pay for the training. There's also not always enough time to effectively train young people that need and want to be trained. Dewberry shared the poignant story of one young man's journey toward nonviolence.
