Abstract
In 2014 the Saltman Center for Conflict Resolution celebrated ten years of teaching, research, and public service pertaining to conflict resolution. Rather than host a “mere” party, we decided to sponsor a very special event honoring the contributions of Nelson Mandela to the world of conflict resolution. We believed such an event would further our mission of bringing greater knowledge about conflict resolution to the public and thereby help bring more peace and justice to our troubled world.
The choice to honor President Nelson Mandela in connection with our tenth anniversary event was easy. The late Nelson Mandela, through his words,his writings, and his actions, epitomized the best of the world of conflict resolution.
