About us
The United States Institute of Peace is a national, nonpartisan, independent institute, founded by Congress and dedicated to the proposition that a world without violent conflict is possible, practical and essential for U.S. and global security. In conflict zones abroad, the Institute works with local partners to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict. To reduce future crises and the need for costly interventions, USIP works with governments and civil societies to build local capacities to manage conflict peacefully. The Institute pursues its mission by linking research, policy, training, analysis and direct action to support those who are working to build a more peaceful, inclusive world.

This summer, our John Lewis Peace Fellows visited sites related to the civil rights movement with the John and Lillian Miles Lewis Foundation. During their trip to Georgia and Alabama, they met with people who knew Congressman Lewis to learn more about his lifelong commitment to peace and nonviolent action. In this video, the fellows discuss how this experience has helped them become better peacebuilders and how they plan to bring the legacy of John Lewis back to their own countries and communities.
