Rev James Lawson, a confidant and comrade of Dr Martin Luther King and longtime student of non-violent social activism, will speak at the 150th anniversary of Muhatma Gandhi’s birth at the Philadelphia Free School, October 3. Rev Lawson was Dr. King’s “coach” on Gandhian non-violence and invited MLK to Memphis, where he was assassinated while supporting striking garbage workers, said Free School organizer Jahan Choudry.
