http://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.
