The Rev. James Lawson and "satyagraha"

Hello friends ANIME HD, on this occasion the admin wants to share an article entitled The Rev. James Lawson and "satyagraha", we have made good, quality and useful articles for you to read and take information in. hopefully the post content is about which we write you can understand. Alright, happy reading.

I'm still marveling this morning at the power of yesterday's funeral service at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta for U.S. Rep. John Lewis (D-Georgia). Magnificent tributes from four U.S. presidents --- Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton in person and Jimmy Carter, now 95, by letter from Plains; an eloquent invocation from the Rev. Bernice King of the King Center; and much more.

But the tribute I've listened to twice now, and probably will listen to again, came from the Rev. James Lawson, a towering figure himself in the U.S. civil rights movement, colleague of Dr. Martin Luther King and, at 91, a mentor to John Lewis, who was a mere 80 when he died July 17.

A retired United Methodist minister and educator, the Rev. Mr. Lawson worked closely with Dr. King to bring the Gandhian concept of "Satyagraha" --- a form of non-violent (but not passive) resistance sometimes expressed as "truth-force" or "soul-force" --- to the developing civil rights movement.

For those who care to watch and listen, here is his history lesson/tribute:
