City of Los Angeles Names A Stretch of Adams Boulevard as Reverend Lawson Mile

 Lawson helped lead the historic 1960 Nashville sit-in at Woolworth’s lunch counter, the Freedom Rides in 1961, and throughout the 1960s continued to organize nearly every major student sit-in, march and protest. He taught “Nonviolence and Social Movements” at UCLA for more than 20 years and established a strong relationship with Cal State Northridge through his involvement with the university’s Civil Discourse and Social Change Initiative.
