This year’s special guest speaker, Dr. James Lawson Jr. worked directly with Dr King during the civil rights movement. He played a significant role in orchestrating the lunch counter sit-in campaign in Nashville, Tennessee, the largest and most influential of the southern student sit-in campaigns; developed strategy for the Freedom Riders; and taught the theory and practice of nonviolent direct action to students, activists, and future civil rights leaders, including Diane Nash, James Bevel, Bernard Lafayette, Marion Barry, and John Lewis. The Reverend Lawson has been active in many campaigns and in the instruction of emergent leaders. Often referred to as “the mind of the movement,” the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., called him "the leading theorist and strategist of nonviolence in the world." He remains a staunch defender of human rights.
