To the
Editors: Nineteen seventy-two marks
twenty years since Danilo Dolci first took up his work in western Sicily. His
use of nonviolence and direct social action in attempting to deal with problems
of exploitation and apathy has had important results and has attracted
world-wide attention. Dolci has recently been nominated for the Nobel Peace
Prize. Dolci will visit the United
States from September 26 through October 15. He will be in the Midwest from
October 1 through October 7, in the East before and after that time. Invitations for him to appear
before campus or community groups are welcome. Previous tours have aroused
increasing interest in his work and in its applicability to pressing problems
which face our own society. The tour is sponsored by Friends of Danilo Dolci;
inquiries should be addressed to the Chairman, Professor Alfred McClung Lee,
100 Hemlock Road, Short Hills, New Jersey 07078, (201) 376-8232, or to Ms.
Joan Simon, 7 Gracie Square, New York, NY 10028, (212) 288-0756. Those who simply wish to know
more about our work should write directly to Professor Lee. Sumner M. Rosen New York City Dolci and
