www.umc.org/videos The Rev. James M. Lawson has been called the “architect of the nonviolence movement” in America. The United Methodist pastor was a close ally to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Lawson trained the young people whose peaceful witness at lunch counters in the South sought to end segregation. At age 88, he looked back at the pivotal moments that shaped his life and ministry.

Thank you Rev. James Lawson for all of your nonviolent speeches. And your hard work for the movement on Civil rights. I'm a disabled person we the disabled didn't have any civil rights in this country from the 15 hundreds all the way up to the 60 ' s . I'm in the disabled movement now on the board of a civil rights disabled group fighting everday for disabled people's rights. The Americans with Dissabilities Act is our civil rights Bill which is being violated everyday in this country. Rev Lawson i would like to meet you. Would that be ok.

"Our country is a country trapped embedded and addicted to the mythology of violence." James Lawson Prabhupāda: "Now, after taking instruction from Christ, first of all they killed Christ. That means they could not understand the instruction. Therefore their first business was to kill the instructor. And after that, two thousand years passed, still they are killing. So when they have accepted the teachings of Lord Christ? Can you answer this?"
