JAMES LAWSON, who died in June aged 95, was described by Martin Luther King Jnr as “the greatest teacher of non-violence in America.”
Best known for his activism during the US civil rights movement, Lawson travelled to the then segregated city of Nashville, Tennessee, in the late 1950s, after King implored him to join the struggle.
Heavily influenced by Gandhi and working as a field secretary for the Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR), he started running regular workshops on non-violence in a church basement, vowing to turn Nashville into a “laboratory for demonstrating non-violence.”
