| dc.description | Includes descriptive metadata provided by producer in MP4 file: "The Non-Violence Struggle - Video - The Rev James Lawson The Non-Violence Struggle 11-27-2007 1 of 2." Video of a class session. At the beginning of the class Lawson talks about an upcoming exam and other housekeeping matters. He then returns to analyzing the history of the American civil rights movement. Among other topics, he claims that nonviolence at a deep level never really became the dominant theme in the movement. He also compares the civil rights movement to other social movements in particular aspects, and talks about what social movements must do to change the U.S. of today. He discusses several dimensions of the civil rights movement: law (rights of citizenship), education (desegregation), the "coalition of conscience" (M.L. King's phrase), and government as a means to public well-being. | en |
