The Rev. James Lawson (left) talks with VUSM Dean Steven Gabbe, M.D., following his recent lecture "Towards the Healing of Humankind," presented as part of the Dean's Lecture Series. Lawson returned to Vanderbilt as a Distinguished Professor for the 2006-2007 academic year, more than four decades after he was expelled from the Divinity School for organizing African-American sit-ins in downtown Nashville as part of the 1960 civil rights movement.
