Biography

Lawrence Scott was a Quaker organizer and former American Friends Service Committee peace-education director. He led the Washington Peace Action Center and was jailed for a White House peace vigil. He later helped establish A Quaker Action Group.

Case

Charges: White House peace-vigil prosecution; exact charge for the documented thirty-day term is unresolved
Sentence: His archival biography records a thirty-day jail term served during the Peace Action Center years, 1961–1963. This is not assigned the dates of the separate 1962 twenty-day sentence from which he was bailed pending appeal.
