In 2010, the family of Howard Thurman (1899-1981) donated a large collection of audio and video materials. 1,400 individual recordings, totaling over 41,000 minutes of audio and video. Most of the recordings are of Thurman himself, being interviewed, delivering lectures, or offering sermons.

It is my goal to support the The Howard Thurman Digital Archive, at Pitts Theology at Emory University, with their goals of 1) preserving for future generations 2) making the audio accessible to scholars and the general public and 3) making the content discoverable.

I've set a personal goal of listening to all 290+ recordings in one year, and having these recordings available as a podcast will help tremendously. I am so grateful to have them. And I am hopeful that others will discover Dr. Thurman through this podcast.

A full list of the audio recordings held in Pitts Theology Library is provided in their archival finding aid. If you would like researcher access to the unprocessed audio recordings, please contact them directly.

I'll do my best to keep this podcast up to date with website as new recordings are released.
