Donyelle McCray discusses Howard Thurman, civil rights leader, preacher, writer, mystic and thinker who was a mentor to Dr. King and the founder of the Church for the Fellowship of All Peoples. Donyelle focuses on Thurman’s tenderness: how his mother and grandmother contributed to that tenderness, how Thurman himself cultivated it, and how his tenderness enabled his compassionate, connected ministry in the world. 

The book Can I Get a Witness? Thirteen Peacemakers, Community Builders, and Agitators for Faith and Justice is available now.
