 Victor Lee Lewis, MA. Victor Lewis is an internationally-recognized leader in the field of anti-oppression diversity work and alliance-building. As an educator, trainer, and activist, Lewis has conducted keynote speeches, seminars, and “train the trainer” programs throughout the U.S. and abroad. Raised in the African American “underclass,” he has been an educator, trainer, and activist for social and environmental justice for more than 20 years. Throughout that time he has striven to weave his concerns for liberating approaches to education with his concerns for radical social change, spiritual transformation (personal and planetary), and the building and restoring of the human family.
Victor is Co-Director of the Center for Diversity Leadership (CDL). He is best known as the central prophetic voice in the award-winning race relations documentary, The Color of Fear. He is co-author, with Hugh Vasquez, of Beyond the Color of Fear: Dismantling Racism, a facilitation and discussion guide for use in institutions wishing to integrate the film into their curricula and training programs. Victor also has written and lectured extensively on the roots of male violence when he served as co-chair of the National Organization for Men Against Sexism (NOMAS). He is a Charter Board Member for The Urban Habitat Program (initially of Earth Island Institute). He was previously a senior trainer with the Oakland Men's Project, a leader amongst pro-feminist men's organizations, and one of the nation's premier violence-prevention training institutes. He holds an MA in Culture and Spirituality from the Institute in Culture and Creation Spirituality (ICCS), founded by “creation-centered” theologian, the Rev. Matthew Fox.
