Absolutely incredible, life-changing class. Lawson worked with MLK in the civil rights movement and was one of the leaders of the student sit-in movement during the 60s--having the chance to take a class with him was amazing. He did most of the weekly lectures and is an incredibly charismatic & critical speaker--always tying issues to institutional inequalities & injustice such as the U.S. military having bases in hundreds of countries & politicians not advocating enough for the poor. He used several case studies--such as the women's suffrage movement, the immigrant youth movement, & labor organizing--to highlight the importance of nonviolent tactics. I will forever remember this course & honestly can't believe I had this opportunity.
