Company Summary

On April 15, 1996, the William A. Lawson Institute for Peace and Prosperity, a nonprofit organization, was presented to Rev. Lawson by a spontaneous group of community leaders, as a complete surprise in commemoration of his 50 years in the ministry. Rev.Lawson’s many roles as a community server, defender of the underclass, advocate of youth development, bridge builder between groups and supporter of community revitalization are reflected in the direction of WALIPP.

Without Bill Lawson, there would be no WALIPP, or a WALIPP-TSU Academy and additional comfortable, affordable housing for seniors

He marched with Dr. Martin Luther King and headed the city’s chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference for over three decades
He pushed for desegregation in Houston-area schools
If you wanted to get elected or pass a political issue you tried to convince him of the merit of your case
He founded the Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church where he continues to serve as Pastor Emeritus
He helped form the Coalition for the Homeless and worked tirelessly on issues of poverty and substandard services in Houston’s inner city
He pushed for desegregation in Houston-area schools
With his encouragement, his church organized the largest Boy Scout troop in Houston, well over 125 boys have received the honor of Eagle Scout, the top level in scouting
He also began a program to bring together churches of many denominations to share knowledge and bridge cultural gaps
He is always available to visit the sick, pray with the bereaved or encourage those in need
He is self-effacing, humble and accessible (and modest to a fault).
