Mission
The World House Project seeks to realize Martin Luther King, Jr.’s vision of the world as a large house in which “we must learn somehow to live with each other in peace.”
We combine educating on human rights and nonviolence with building an active global network. Through education and the network, The World House Project provides the world with empowering resources and strategies that engender solidarity among all peoples.
Our History
The World House Project, established in 2021 by Martin Luther King, Jr. Centennial Professor, Emeritus Dr. Clayborne Carson, is rooted in over four decades of Dr. Carson’s dedicated scholarship and research at Stanford University focused on Martin Luther King Jr. and the US Civil Rights movement. This project represents the zenith of Dr. Carson’s lifelong commitment to this cause. While the project draws inspiration from Martin Luther King’s visionary ideals, it transcends to encompass the broader realms of nonviolence, civil rights, and the ongoing struggles for peace and human rights.
