Speaker: Rev. Joe Cleveland | Rev. Dr. Howard Thurman is often regarded as a Christian mystic and was effectively the godfather of the civil rights movement of the late ’50s to ’60s. He was thought of as a mentor and teacher by many civil rights leaders, including Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Thurman’s book Jesus and the Disinherited is one of the books that King regularly carried with him as a guide.

Today we hear a few stories about Howard Thurman and how he might inspire us to be more fully present to the now we find ourselves in today.
