Watch: "A People’s Past Continues to Be Living History"
Watch video of a Nov. 4 talk by Reverend James Lawson, Distinguished University Professor, part of the Thinking Out of the Lunchbox series.
The Reverend James Lawson’s career in ministry and nonviolent activism began at Vanderbilt Divinity School, from which he was famously expelled in 1960 for his activism in desegregating the lunch counters of downtown Nashville.
Before becoming a leader in the civil rights movement, Reverend Lawson studied Gandhi’s teachings in India with a depth of understanding that would lead Martin Luther King, Jr., to deem Reverend Lawson “the leading nonviolence theorist in the world.”
