Council of Elders

"The Council of Elders was born out of a vision that Dr, Vincent Harding, Rev. James Lawson and his brother Rev. Phil Lawson shared. Each were responding to their sense that the nation and current leaders in the 21st century could benefit from the wisdom and failures of the great non-violent movements for justice and democracy of the 2oth century."
