Overview
After young James Lawson slapped a white boy who insulted him, his mother told him there had to be a better way.
This started him on a journey that took him to jail for refusing to be drafted to fight in the Korean War, to India to learn from followers of Gandhi, and eventually to Nashville, Tennessee. Working with student leaders, including Diane Nash and John Lewis, Lawson helped shape the nonviolent campaign to desegregate downtown Nashville in 1960. An inspiring story about determination, leadership, and the power of nonviolence.
