Abstract
Chapter 6 overviews the unique life and pedagogy of James Lawson, the central strategist on nonviolence in the civil rights movement. An advocate for nonviolence, Lawson’s conviction can be traced from his mother’s admonition for a better way to Lawson’s inspiration by the works of Ghandi, and even to his missionary work centered on international resistance. Solidifying this conviction of nonviolence is its alignment with Christian values. This chapter illustrates how Lawson skillfully imparted this conviction of nonviolence to passionate, energetic young people. Lawson’s radical pedagogy involved warning his students of the dangers of unchecked emotions, leading his students in Christian praxis, and giving space for his students to speak and cultivate leadership skills. Lawson’s pedagogy also included the practice of radical listening, honoring the stories and experiences of Black men and women. Lastly, this chapter describes the application of Lawson’s educational activism: through practice, rehearsal, and preparation, Lawson and his students developed the mental fortitude required to stay true to their conviction of nonviolence.
