Prof. Emeritus Walter E. Fluker awarded 2023 Four Freedoms Award from The Roosevelt Institute
In a recent press release, The Roosevelt Institute announced its 2023 Four Freedoms Awards recipients. This year’s ceremony will take place in September in Hyde Park, NY, home of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum.
Boston University School of Theology Martin Luther King, Jr. Professor Emeritus of Ethical Leadership Walter E. Fluker will will receive the Freedom of Worship award, which is one of four awards given by the Roosevelt Institute to “exemplify core freedoms that uphold our democracy: freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.” He will be honored for carrying on the legacies of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and former Boston University Dean of Marsh Chapel Howard Thurman. This award will be given to him in recognition of his “helping students navigate the ethical questions of today to being a thought leader for Black churches.”
