From the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter –

Reflections by Rev. James Lawson and The Hon. Jean Augustine


Speakers:


An activist, minister, and the pioneer of nonviolence in the

American Civil Liberties Movement. Reverend James M.

Lawson Jr. was inspired by Gandhi’s use of nonviolence in

securing justice and peace. Dr. Martin Luther King described

Rev. Lawson as “the leading theorist and strategist of

nonviolence in the world.”


The Hon. Dr. Jean Augustine made history as the first Black

woman elected to Canada’s Parliament and served from

1993-2006. Her legislative successes include the historic

Black History Month Motion. She has dedicated her life to

the pursuit of social justice.
