Join us for a special preview screening of A BETTER WAY: James Lawson, Architect of Nonviolence
This documentary feature provides a fresh lens on the inner workings of the Nonviolence Movement of America through the story of Rev. James Lawson, who Martin Luther King, Jr. called, ‘the leading theorist and strategist of nonviolence in the world.”
Interviews with Rev. Lawson and activists he mentored from the 1950s through to his passing in 2024 illuminate his impact as he addresses “US cultures of violence, racism, sexism, and Plantation Capitalism.” Rev. Lawson’s story provides evidence that nonviolent direct action is effective and offers untapped strategies for future justice movement-building. The film is in the final stages of post-production and runs 2 hours. A Q&A with Director/Producer Karen Hayes will follow.
