James Lawson Jr. was a prominent American activist and university professor recognized for his important role in the Civil Rights Movement. He was highly regarded for his knowledge of nonviolent strategies and tactics, which he shared with groups like the Nashville Student Movement and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in the 1960s. Despite encountering resistance and the threat of expulsion from Vanderbilt University because of his civil rights work, Lawson remained committed to his principles and later became a pastor in Los Angeles, where he served for 25 years.
