WHAT CAN ORDINARY PEOPLE DO TO CHANGE A WORLD FULL OF VIOLENCE AND HATE?  IS NONVIOLENT REVOLUTION POSSIBLE?

"Love and Solidarity" addresses these and other questions through the life and teachings of African American Methodist minister Rev. James M. Lawson (born 1928). 

Lawson provided strategic guidance while working with Martin Luther King, Jr., in southern freedom struggles and the Memphis sanitation strike of 1968. 

Moving to Los Angeles in 1974, Lawson continued nonviolence organizing in multi-racial community and worker coalitions that helped to remake the L.A. labor movement. 

Through interviews and historical documents, acclaimed labor and civil rights historian Michael Honey and award-winning filmmaker Errol Webber bring out Lawson's views on economic inequality, racism and violence, human rights, peace, and economic justice.
