Publisher's Synopsis
Rev. James Lawson, currently Pastor Emeritus of the Holman United Methodist Church in Los Angeles' Adams District, was one of the most influential architects of the civil rights movement and in many respects its most committed practitioner of the idea of nonviolent resistance. In his nonviolence workshops in Nashville he gathered and trained such figures as John Lewis, Diane Nash, James Bevel, etc. This book, based on 27 hours of recorded conversations with Vinay Lal, will tell his story.
