Good morning Kings and Queens, When you write it down and make it plain then you will start to reap what you sew. However, you still have to put in the work to get it done. You've got this.! Have a blessed day. I love you.
➡️WATCH THE FULL VIDEO INTERVIEW: TBU After Haiti got pawned in the US election Kehinde Andrews interviews Haitian-American filmmaker, Etant Dupain, about his new doc (film) "The Fight For Haiti." It tells the truth about the historical and current story around the Venezuelan PetriCaribe Oil Alliance scandal in Haiti. PetriCaribe was set up by former Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez. A program for LAC countries (Haiti joined in 2006) to buy oil through a repayment plan for preferential prices, resell to its oil suppliers at international prices, and use the savings for development projects such as infrastructure, health care, and education. This was a chance for Haiti to invest in itself. However, billions of dollars from the fund were wasted, embezzled, and stolen by those entrusted with it, taking it from those who needed it most. The film amplifies the self-determined grassroots struggle of Haitian activists aka Petrochallengers, who put everything on the line to lead the fight against government corruption, impunity, and state-sanctioned violence. It also follows how politicians and oligarchs have attempted to use gangs to destroy the popular movement. Etant Dupain is a journalist and filmmaker. Etant founded an alternative media project in Haiti to enable citizen journalists to provide access to information in Haitian Creole for and about internally displaced people, aid accountability, and politics. A FREE SCREENING of "The Fight For Haiti" will run next week (Nov 19) at the BLOC Cinema at Queen Mary's School of Law.

➡️JOIN THE STRUGGLE + BECOME A MEMBER OF THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY (HOBU): https://www.blackunity.org.uk/membership In this week's Black Political Rant, Kehinde (@Kehinde_Andrews) discusses how we understand Monday's not-guilty verdict of Sgt. Martyn Blake's trial, a White MET police marksman who killed an unarmed Black man, Chris Kaba in 2022. Kehinde links this to other cases of Black men killed by the police, to-date UK stats on police killings of Black people; and the relevance of Malcolm's concept of "The Negro" that's still with us today. He makes plain that the racism of the police is the racism of the society. The police are as racist as the society allows them to be. We have the police force that society wants. The police, police with the consent of the racist society. The fears, prejudices, negative criminal stereotypical assessments, hallucinations, and "perceptual distortions" of the police are all features of the psychosis of Whiteness, a global phenomenon, that leads to our deaths. In this week's Interview Kehinde talks with award-winning Sylvia Arthur (LOATAD founder) and Seth Avusuglo (LOATAD manager) from the Library Of Africa and The African Diaspora Archive. They discuss the origin, mission, and development of LOATAD, the difficulty of getting Black books on the continent, the writing residencies + more. The Library Of Africa and The African Diaspora (LOATAD) is a decolonizing private library, archive, writing residency, research institute, and museum dedicated to the work of Afrikan and Diaspora writers from the late 19th century to the present day. Based in Accra, Ghana, it was founded by Sylvia Arthur in 2017 using 1300 of her own books. LOATAD's current collection contains around 4000 books by writers from 41 of Africa's 54 countries and Black authors from the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe, and around the world. LOATAD's mission: to celebrate and champion Africa's rarely acknowledged contribution to the global literary canon.

No official guests this week, instead Kehinde Andrews drops some POLITICAL EDUCATION and cracks these coconuts for us, keeping us sane in a racist world. He highlights two recent, related, and ongoing events: he's facing a "house negro" police probe and Marieha Hussain's current "coconut trial" (taking place at Westminister Magistrates Court yesterday and today). Kehinde is facing a criminal investigation after the police came knocking on his door thanks to a complaint made by Black conservative commentator Calvin Robinson about a video posted earlier this year in which Kehinde called Calvin a "house negro." Marieha is a Brown woman charged with a hate crime over a satirical and political placard depicting former UK prime minister Rishi Sunak and former home secretary Suela Braverman as coconuts during a pro-Palestinian rally last year. Kehinde explains why we shouldn't be surprised at these charges, as there is precedent. He breaks down how the Race Relations Act came into law in England and Wales in 1965, and how 5 of the first 6 prosecutions in 1967, for racism under this legislation were against Black and Brown people. He underlines how from the very beginning, the British state was criminalizing us, by conflating prejudice with racism the law attacks prejudice. He concludes that the whole legal framework is the problem, quoting attorney and a co-founder of critical race theory (CRT), Derrick Bell "What we designate as “racial progress” is not a solution to that problem. It is a regeneration of the problem in a particularly perverse form." - POLITICAL EDUCATION LINKS Leading Black professor faces police probe after calling former GB News host Calvin Robinson a ‘house n*gro' https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/calvin-robinson-kehinde-andrews-youtube-police-b2607648.html Marieha Hussain: Protest outside court as ‘coconut' placard trial begins by Nadine White https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/marieha-hussain-coconut-placard-trial-b2611598.html Leila Hassan Howe: ‘My life was made hell.

In this week's Black World News, Kehinde nearly got arrested. The police, a Black police officer (at that) politely invited Kehinde for a voluntary interview at the police station about a video he put online. The video was posted on YouTube two months ago called It's not a Crime to Call a "Coconut" a "Coconut." Posted in response to Marieha Hussain's arrest for carrying a placard during a pro-Palestine rally, depicting the faces of former Tory prime minister Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman, the former Tory home secretary, alongside coconuts under a tree on a beach. Since then she lost her job and was charged with a racially aggravated public order offense. Marieha's trial is next week: September 12, 2024, at 10 am, at Westminster Magistrates Court in London, and the rally will be around 9 am. Kehinde plans to be there. - In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde is joined by Erika Brown, co-host of the Broke-ish podcast, for a mashup between Make it Plain and Broke-ish podcasts (the recording will be available on Broke-ish at a later date). They explore with respectful dialogue and disagreement: how to embody the values of the Black radical tradition in their work and podcasting and consider what public sociology and public scholarship are, and how they fit in as Black radical public intellectuals. They talk about the good, the bad, and the in-between. This podcast conversation has been partly funded by a grant Erika received from the Jane Nelson Institute for Women's Leadership at Texas University. - Erika Brown started working in corporate America when she was 20 and built a career of almost 25 years in Marketing and Product Management. From the time she was a child, she vowed that no one would know more about her money than her. Erika lives with her husband and two daughters in suburban Dallas, TX where she enjoys chicken on the bone as much as possible. Erika is a PhD student in sociology at the Texas Women's University. Broke-ish is about being broke—broke and Black in America. About all the unbelievable *ish that America has done to Black people to keep us in this broke-ish state. How we've been in ways that personal finance tips and traditional financial literacy can't fix. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS It's not a crime to call a Coconut a Coconut, Kehinde's video on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZkD-e-b6Iw Policing terms like House Negro insults Black political thought, Kehinde's post on MIP https://make-it-plain.org/2021/02/19/policing-terms-like-house-negro-insults-black-political-thought/ - GUEST LINKS Broke-ish link tree https://t.co/piye1ySPrh Broke-ish Podcast https://brokeish.com/ Op-Ed in Yes Magazine False Prophets of Profit by Erika Brownhttps://www.yesmagazine.org/issue/truth/2024/09/04/false-prophets-of-profit - THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY NEEDS YOU Harambee Organisation of Black Unity (Marcus Garvey Centre + Nicole Andrews Community Library, Birmingham, UK)https://www.blackunity.org.uk/ CAP25 - Convention of Afrikan People - Gambia - May 17-19, 2025 (Everyone's Welcome*) On Malcolm X's 100th birthday, the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity is bringing together those in Afrika and the Diaspora who want to fulfill Malcolm's legacy and build a global organization for Black people.

This week we're rerunning the final episode from S1 of the MIP podcast with a (first on the pod) cameo appearance from executive producer Weyland McKenzie-Witter explaining the rerun. In short, it's due to the award-winning undergraduate degree (Bachelor of Arts) in Black Studies (which Kehinde co-created) being shut down by Birmingham City Uni (BCU). A life-changing and grounding break course. This is an institutionally racist move that continues the attack on Black thought in higher education. FYI: BCU is still running the Master of Arts in Black Studies degree program for Sept 2025/26 entry. In the interview from 2023, Kehinde Andrews asks a mixture of Black Studies undergraduates and MA students; hearing testimonies from Eileen, Nae, Esther, Laura, Fonce, and Charlotte, from all three Black Studies degree courses at Birmingham City Uni about their experiences on the courses. The students featured are Eileen, Nae, Esther, Laura, Fonce, and Charlotte. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS Kehinde speaks on the BCU's undegrad Black Studies course cancellation https://x.com/kehinde_andrews/status/1827358975085453638 - GUEST LINKS Professor Kehinde Andrews (Kehinde.andrews@bcu.ac.uk) BCU Profilehttps://www.bcu.ac.uk/business-law-and-social-sciences/staff/sociology-and-criminology/kehinde-andrews Black Studies Research Cluster at Birmingham City University (BCU) https://www.bcu.ac.uk/research/social-sciences/identities-and-inequalities/research-clusters/black-studies - THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY NEEDS YOU Harambee Organisation of Black Unity (Marcus Garvey Centre + Nicole Andrews Community Library, Birmingham, UK)https://www.blackunity.org.uk/ CAP25 - Convention of Afrikan People - Gambia - May 17-19, 2025 (Everyone's Welcome) On Malcolm X's 100th birthday, the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity is bringing together those in Afrika and the Diaspora who want to fulfill Malcolm's legacy and build a global organization for Black people.

In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain the mirage of the Paris '24 Olympics (26 July 2024 – 11 August 2024) following his family road trip to Lille in France to watch live the (Black) Women of Team USA dominate the Japanese in basketball. He makes plain the assimilationist policy and color-blind approach of France to race; he debunks the myth of "Black" and "White" "genetic superiority" to explain their respective dominance in certain sporting and athletic activities eg Black people in track and White people in swimming. Finally, he makes plain the insidious nature of the patriotism and Diaspora wars in international sporting competitions. - In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Dr Robyn C. Spencer-Antoine about her book The Revolution Has Come: Black Power, Gender, and the Black Panther Party in Oakland and the history of women (who made up over 50% of the party), gender, and power in the party. They also discuss her second book project, To Build the World Anew: Black Liberation Politics and the Movement Against the Vietnam War in the context of Palestine, settler colonialism, and the ongoing investment and buy-in of these land grab and dispossession projects. Finally, they touch on Patricia Murphey Robinson, a Black organizer, and psychotherapist who worked with people in many movements, and Dr. Robyn's work curating the @PATarchives on Instagram to spotlight how Patricia Murphy Robinson's unprocessed home archives reframe the Black radical tradition. - Dr Robyn C. Spencer-Antoine is a History and African American Studies professor at Wayne State University (WSU), Detroit, Michigan, where they're developing the Detroit Center for Black Studies. She's a historian of the Black freedom movements, an activist, a Black feminist, a daughter of the Diaspora, and a mother. She is co-founder of the Intersectional Black Panther Party History Project and has written widely on gender and Black power. Her writings have appeared in the Journal of Women's History and Souls as well as The Washington Post, Vibe Magazine, Colorlines, and Truthout. She has received awards for her work from the Mellon Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the Association of Black Women Historians. She is completing her second book, Vietnam Blues, on the intersections between the movement for Black liberation and the movement against the US war in Vietnam as a fellow at Harvard's Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History (CWC) in 2023-2024. In addition, she is working on two biographies: Left Traces: Patricia Robinson and the Archive of Black Women's Radicalism and Angela Davis: Radical Icon. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS A'ja Wilson dominates as US women beat Japan 102-76 to open campaign for 8th straight Olympic gold https://olympics.com/en/news/paris-2024-basketball-aja-wilson-scores-double-double-usa-beats-japan WILSON A'ja (A'ja Riyadh Wilson)Athlete Profiles https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/athlete/a-ja-wilson_1954757 The Patriotism of the Paris Olympics, Paging Doctor Doom, and the Shadow Dockethttps://www.theringer.com/2024/7/30/24209355/patriotism-2024-paris-olympics-paging-doctor-doom-supreme-court-shadow-docket - GUEST LINKS Robyn C.

CONTENT WARNING: Recent Sonya Lynaye Wilburn-Massey Police Murder + Racially Motivated Murder of Anthony Walker. - In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain three news items. Firstly the recent unlawful murder of Sonya Massey by the police for no reason; and the need to center Black women killed by the police too (#SAYHERNAME). Secondly, he makes plain that Jamaica (and the Caribbean) is a prison colony. Third, he makes plain that probable presidential nominee Kamala Harris is not the solution to our problems; she's a Black face in a high place (#WhiteHouseNegro). She has no program, no solution, and will not do anything for Black people because the US president by design can't do anything for Black people. - In this week's Black United Front interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Dominque Walker, an ex-police officer, about Dominque's far-reaching abolitionist and antiracist work, particularly with the antiracist charity Anthony Walker Foundation. Her work in academic spaces as a lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University and with The Goddess Project, a Black women's group. They talk about Dominque's experiences of racism and sense of safety living and growing up in Liverpool in White-majority and Black & Brown-majority areas. In 2005, when Dominque was 19, her brother Anthony Walker, 18, from Huyton, Liverpool, was brutally murdered by two White males Paul Taylor and Michael Barton on July 30, 2005. It was a racially motivated axe attack as Anthony walked with his cousin and his White girlfriend across McGoldrick Park in Huyton (a predominantly White area), Liverpool. In response, they, including her mum, Dr Gee Walker, founded the Anthony Walker Foundation to tackle racism, hate crime, and discrimination by providing educational opportunities, providing victim support services, and promoting equity and inclusion for all. They discuss the aftermath and the journey toward justice, which ultimately goes on until the offenders die and the trauma. - Dominique Walker is a mum from Liverpool born and raised; chair of the antiracist charity Anthony Walker Foundation (20 years in inception); co-founder of the Goddess Project a project that celebrates and centers Black women in Liverpool (with about 100 women involved); lecturer in Criminology and Policing Studies at the School of Justice at Liverpool John Moores University; and a PhD student (dissertation: Abolish Hate Crime Policing). For 11 years she was a hate crime and domestic violence detective with the Merseyside Police Protecting Vulnerable People Sigma Hate Crime Investigations unit. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS Black women-led stream gets 90K viewers, raises $1.5M US for Kamala Harris in a few hourshttps://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/kamala-harris-black-women-zoom-1.7273791 Everything we know about the Sonya Massey shootinghttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/sonia-massey-police-shooting-mental-illness-b2585416.html - #SayHerName Black Women's Stories of Police Violence and Public Silence by Kimberlé Crenshaw and African American Policy Forum, Foreword by Janelle Monáehttps://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1632-sayhername#:~:text=%22Reading%20%23SayHerName%20is%20an%20act,%2C%20a%20family%2C%20a%20community. #SAYHERNAME | AFRICAN AMERICAN POLICY FORUM | BLACK WOMEN ARE KILLED BY POLICE TOO https://www.aapf.org/sayhername International Slavery Museum https://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/international-slavery-museum - GUEST + BUF LINKS Anthony Walker: A life that left a legacy https://archive.voice-online.co.uk/article/anthony-walker-life-left-legacy Anthony Walker Foundation Linktreehttps://linktr.ee/awf19872005 Anthony Walker Foundation https://anthonywalkerfoundation.com/ The Goddess Projects https://www.facebook.com/thegoddessprojects1 Dominique Walker - Staff Profile - Liverpool John Moores UniversitySchool of Justice Studies Faculty of Arts Professional and Social Studies https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/about-us/staff-profiles/faculty-of-arts-professional-and-social-studies/school-of-justice-studies/dominique-walker - THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY NEEDS YOU Harambee Organisation of Black Unity (Marcus Garvey Centre + Nicole Andrews Community Library, Birmingham, UK)https://www.blackunity.org.uk/ CAP25 - Convention of Afrikan People - Gambia - May 17-19, 2025 (Everyone's Welcome) On Malcolm X's 100th birthday, the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity is bringing together those in Afrika and the Diaspora who want to fulfill Malcolm's legacy and build a global organization for Black people.

CONTENT WARNING: Racialised Trauma - In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain Trump's so-called assassination attempt (leaving one person dead and two wounded) and as Malcolm said of Kennedy's assassination, "it's chickens coming home to roost." However, it's not surprising as America is founded and sustained on political violence: the first violence of the genocide of native people, the second violence of enslaving us, and the third violence of kicking the British out with the American Revolutionary War. Much of the violence of the world today can be traced back to the US and Western imperialism. This is America, this is the West. This. Is. What. The System. Is. - In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Guilaine Kinouani a leading voice in Black psychiatry, psychology, and psychosocial studies in the UK. They talk about her work as a clinician, re-traumatizing mental health systems, being dissuaded from working as a clinician as well as dealing with her own trauma as a clinician with over 15 years of research and study including her books Living While Black and White Minds. They talk about the origin story of Race Reflections which started as a blog (now a social enterprise) about not being silenced, and how it developed.

In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain the racism in continental Europe and how it hits differently to the UK; how Jamaica and other Black Caribbean islands (like Haiti) are not our home, they're prison colonies, and the solution: a global Black nation.- In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Mitchell Esajas "A Voice of Black Holland," from The Black Archives in Amsterdam. They talk about the great work the archive is doing to put the Black Dutch experience on the map. As well as the situation in Amsterdam, the far right rise, the Dutch king, prime minister, and the mayor of Amsterdam's apologies for enslavement. Not to mention the most popular Dutch tradition, Zwarte Piet (Black Pete) the years of resistance against the racist tradition, and the recent political development. - Mitchell Esajas is co-founder and managing director of The New Urban Collective (NUC), a social enterprise and network for Black and POC, that manages The Black Archives (where Mitchell co-leads day-to-day activities). The Black Archives is an archive with more than 10,000 books and documents, exhibition space, and a cultural center. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS Kick Out Zwarte Piet is calling it quits, it's now up to societyhttps://www.bnnvara.nl/joop/artikelen/kick-out-zwarte-piet-stopt-ermee-het-is-nu-aan-de-samenleving Presence of far-right MP Martin Bosma dishonours 1 July commemoration!https://www.theblackarchives.nl/blog/aanwezigheid-extreem-rechts-kamerlid-martin-bosma-onteert-1-juli-herdenking?lang=en - GUEST LINKS Atlanta Season 2 Episode 4: "Helen""I'm not wearing Black face" clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr5dz8tgjC4 The Black Archives WebsiteThe Black Archives consists of unique book collections, archives and artifacts that are the legacy of Black Dutch writers and scientists. https://www.theblackarchives.nl/home.html The Black Archives Linktree https://linktr.ee/the_blackarchives The New Urban Collective https://www.nucnet.nl/ Broke-ish (Erika Brown + Amber Sims) In the Broke-ish space, we talk about being broke—broke and Black in America.

WELCOME BACK TO THE MAKE IT PLAIN PODCAST - Thanks for coming back! If you slept on S1 you can return to our earlier episodes (S1 was funded by the Evens Foundation in Europe, themed on Black Studies, featuring Patricia Hill Collins, Kimberlee Crenshaw, David Harewood + more). This is S2, and we're taking a slightly different tact than S1. We'll still be interviewing official guests in academia, politics, and elsewhere. What's new is that we'll also be talking to interesting people on the ground from organizations on the Black United Front (BUF, a directory of Black orgs across the globe that Make it Plain has begun developing). - In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain the House Negro nonsense of the coconut trial of Mariah Hassan, a person who was charged with carrying a placard that pictured Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman as coconuts. This isn't up for debate, this is not a criminal offense it's a defense of the Black radical intellectual tradition. Kehinde also makes plain the general election, the ways you can and can't represent as a Black MP, and the myth and propaganda of the Black Vote. Not discounting our influence in marginal seats, the myth of the Black vote is a really bad way of understanding Black political power. Kehinde makes plain a better (local, national, and global) way of understanding politics through a Black mass membership international organization. - In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with George the Poet (featuring his son in the background hehe) about his new book Track Record. George shares a section of the book that never made it to his book, "The Anti-Afrikan." They also discuss, turning down an MBE (Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) honor, despite it "opening doors" and networking opportunities (but the question is, "which doors?" and"whose doors?"). - George the Poet AKA George Mpanga is a multi-dimensional man with lived experience and a London-born spoken word performer of Ugandan heritage. His innovative brand of musical poetry has won him critical acclaim both as a recording artist and a social commentator. George is also a husband, father, and Cambridge graduate. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS It's not a crime to call a "Coconut" a "Coconut." Professor Kehinde Andrews explains why the terms Coconut, House Negro, Coon, and Uncle Tom are vital expressions of Black political thought that should be celebrated and not policed. Drawing on work in his book 'The Psychosis of Whiteness' this is a handy guide through the use of the words complete with many examples. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZkD-e-b6Iw - GUEST LINKS George the Poet https://www.georgethepoet.com/ George's book: Track Record Delving into the music scene and iconic films from his childhood, as well as crucial political and economic moments in history, this book provides the backstory of where we are today. Honest, thought-provoking, and passionate, Track Record is a ground-breaking memoir by one of the UK's most unique voices.https://afroribooks.co.uk/products/track-record-me-music-and-the-war-on-blackness-by-george-the-poet-published-25th-april-2024 Have You Heard George's Podcast?

One of the most popular verses about "vision" that is used in teaching about personal and group vision statements is Habakkuk 2:2, but what is the original context of this verse? Understanding what is meant by "vision" both generally and specifically in the book of Habakkuk is essential to not taking this verse out of context. Unfortunately, Habakkuk 2 also causes confusion due to an unhelpful chapter division. Once the flow of Habakkuk as a book is seen, the themes and message of the book come to the forefront. The ideas behind "vision" are different but more important than we might have ever thought.

A friend asked me should we be celebrating the incident in Montgomery? I decided to pose the question to one of the greatest teachers of nonviolence in history--the Rev. James M. Lawson. More than anyone else, he educated, organized and mobilized nonviolent troops for the Civil Rights Movement and for Dr. King, in the way Joshua prepared Moses' troops. We owe him a listen on this matter.And please share your thoughts and reactions via email at makeitplainmail@gmail.com, or via the video on social media: @MakeItPlain on Twitter and TikTok, Make It Plain on Facebook and YouTube and LinkedIn and @ministter on Instagram.☥ † MFrom the Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute at Stanford University:"When Lawson and King met in 1957, King urged Lawson to move to the South and begin teaching nonviolence on a large scale. Later that year, Lawson transferred to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and organized workshops on nonviolence for community members and students at Vanderbilt and the city's four black colleges. These activists, who included Diane Nash, Marion Barry, John Lewis, Bernard Lafayette, and James Bevel, planned nonviolent demonstrations in Nashville, conducting test sit-ins in late 1959. In February 1960, following lunch counter sit-ins initiated by students at a Woolworth's store in Greensboro, North Carolina, Lawson and several local activists launched a similar protest in Nashville's downtown stores. More than 150 students were arrested before city leaders agreed to desegregate some lunch counters. The discipline of the Nashville students became a model for sit-ins in other southern cities. In March 1960 Lawson was expelled from Vanderbilt because of his involvement with Nashville's desegregation movement.Lawson and the Nashville student leaders were influential in the founding conference of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), held April 1960. Their commitment to nonviolence and the Christian ideal of what Lawson called “the redemptive community” helped to shape SNCC's early direction (Lawson, 17 April 1960). Lawson co-authored the statement of purpose adopted by the conference, which emphasized the religious and philosophical foundations of nonviolent direct action.Lawson was involved with the Fellowship of Reconciliation from 1957 to 1969, SNCC from 1960 to 1964, and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) from 1960 to 1967. For each organization, he led workshops on nonviolent methods of protest, often in preparation for major campaigns. He also participated in the third wave of the 1961 Freedom Rides. In 1968, at Lawson's request, King traveled to Memphis, Tennessee, to draw attention to the plight of striking sanitation workers in the city. It was during this campaign that King was assassinated on 4 April 1968."Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
