The Institute for the Humanities and the J.S. Woodsworth Chair in the Humanities at Simon Fraser University’s held their annual celebration of Gandhi Jayanti. The celebrations coincide with the annual Thakore Charitable Foundation’s Visiting Scholar Award, which this year was awarded to Activist Judy Graves for her dedicated work as a tireless advocate for Vancouver’s homeless and educator on the need for ending homelessness.  As one of the world’s most recognizable figures of non-violence, Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The worst form of violence is poverty.”
