“For this is why we were born: People, all people, belong to each other, and he who shuts himself away diminishes himself, and he who shuts another away from him destroys himself.”

Real conversations. Shared experiences. Individuals coming together to solve problems. All of these things are central to the mission of the Howard Thurman Center at BU. If you’re looking for a way to make a personal impact in the Howard Thurman Center’s mission, please consider donating. Donations help expand the scope of the Center’s work in many ways, including additional resources for student-run weekly programs and big annual events like the MLK Jr. Day Luncheon.
