[edit] Phil James

In the late 1960's I met Phil Lawson, in Kansas City, MO, who claimed to be Phil Lawson's younger brother. Phil was close to many of the leaders in the Black Panther movement. He was also a United Methodist minister. Was he the person he claimed to be? I don't know, even though we were friends, I thought, for two or more years. My personal email address is jlware@ruralnet1.com.

Sent email to Jim Ware: If you're still curious, pls see his bio at Soulforce board of directors ... freedom for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people from religious and political oppression. There are other references on the web; a useful Google search: James Phil Lawson.

[edit] References

It seems a shame that the only citations here are to the flap over intemperate remarks at the 9/11 commemoration in 2006. I suggest the article would benefit from more citations, ones beyond my competence to add. --AndersW (talk) 19:59, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
