“The next century will be, must be, the century of collaboration, when we all come to realize what Martin knew and what Malcolm was learning. Our mission is about building coalitions.”

The William A. Lawson Institute for Peace and Prosperity (WALlPP) is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization, presented to Rev. William A. Lawson in 1996 to commemorate his 50 years in the Ministry. The Institute is designed to promote his vision bridging the gap between the powerless and the powerful to achieve peace and prosperity.
Rev. Lawson is a dedicated servant; an advocate of youth for the development of leadership skills; a defender of the underclass; a bridge-builder between groups and communities and a supporter of community revitalization. These roles are reflected in the direction of the Institute.
Under the tutelage of Pastor Lawson, the Institute brings together communities, institutions and businesses. WALlPP’s dedication provides community enhancement by stimulating, providing and encouraging virtual partnerships, collaborative projects, family and youth enrichment programs, professional training seminars and economic and educational development.
