studying for the ministry at american baptist college in nashville, tennessee in 1959, vivian met james lawson, who was teaching mohandas gandhi's nonviolent direct action strategy to the nashville student movement. soon lawson's students, including diane nash, bernard lafayette, james bevel, john lewis and others from american baptist, fisk university and tennessee state university, organized a systematic nonviolent sit-in campaign. on april 19, 1960, 4,000 demonstrators marched on city hall, where vivian and diane nash challenged nashville mayor ben west. as a result, mayor west publicly agreed that racial discrimination was morally wrong. many of the students who participated in the nashville student movement soon took on major leadership roles in both the student nonviolent coordinating committee (sncc) and the southern christian leadership conference (sclc).
