2011 Annual Lowell Lecture by Rev. James Lawson.
In a candid lecture piecing together instructive narratives from his lifetime of nonviolent resistance activism, Reverend James Lawson (STH’60) challenges society’s pre-occupation with consumerism and compliance to an economic ethos that privileges a few at the expense of many and calls for an organized resistance that would surpass all previous justice-seeking movements.

Happening NOW: Icons of the Civil Rights Movement by Pamela Chatterton-Purdy
The exhibition focuses on famous civil rights leaders and events that shaped the 1950s and 1960s movement. The oil paintings, created on gold and red carved wood, are designed to look like religious icons. Rosa Parks, Medgar Evers, and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. are among those depicted by Cape Cod artist Pamela Chatterton-Purdy. The works are displayed throughout the school in Rooms B-23, 325 and the School of Theology Library through March 2012. For more information about the artist, click here.
