This faith celebration, which honors the life and works of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., features an address by the Reverend James Lawson, an architect of the Civil Rights movement who was described by King as the world's leading theorist on non-violence. At the forefront of our country's ongoing struggle for civil liberties and human rights, Lawson helped to found Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace and is a spiritual leader in advocacy for equality of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered people. He has served as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's Los Angeles chapter and as chairman of Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice. He retired in 1999 after serving for 25 years as pastor of Holman United Methodist Church in Los Angeles.
Also featuring the Dartmouth College Gospel Choir, storyteller Willem Lange, and organist Dierre Upshaw '09.
