Diane Nash Interview: The Significance of Nonviolence & Martin Luther King Jr.

Diane Nash explains how the practice of nonviolence provides us with the opportunity to evolve as humans. She discusses her admiration for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, including his work ethic and open mindedness. Nash recalls how she and her ex-husband James Bevel wrote the original draft of the Selma right to vote in the wake of the Birmingham church bombing on September 15, 1963. Diane Nash was born in Chicago and attended Howard University before transferring to Nashville’s Fisk University in the fall of 1959. By 1961, Diane had emerged as one of the most respected student leaders of the sit-in movement and was a founding member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). She was elected coordinator of the Nashville Student Movement Ride, coordinating efforts from Birmingham, Alabama, to Jackson, Mississippi, and playing a key role in bringing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to Montgomery, Alabama in support of the Riders. In 1962, she was sentenced to two years in prison for teaching nonviolent tactics to children in Jackson, Mississippi, although she was four months pregnant. She was later released on appeal. Nash played a major role in the Birmingham desegregation campaign of 1963 and the Selma Voting Rights Campaign of 1965, before returning to Chicago to work in education, real estate, and fair housing advocacy.
