Howard Thurman Papers Project
 |
Established in 1992, the project publishes sermons, essays, letters and other writings of Morehouse alumnus Howard Washington Thurman (Class of ‘23), a towering figure in 20th century American religious cultural life. Editors have cataloged and researched the Howard Thurman Papers and the Sue Bailey Thurman Papers (those of his wife) at Boston University, as well as material from related collections.
In addition, the editors are building the first comprehensive database of Thurman material, which will contain more than 58,000 documents and prove to be of inestimable value to scholars and interested readers. Selected documents from this database will appear in The Papers of Howard Thurman, a four-volume documentary edition to be published by the University of South Carolina Press. The first volume will be published in 2009.
Grants from the Lilly Endowment, the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Henry R. Luce Foundation fund this project.
