HOWARD THURMAN 1899—1981
Minister, author, philosopher, theologian, educator, civil rights leader,
and one of the most important figures in African American history
There is no clear distinction between mind and spirit; but there is a quality of mind that is more than thought and the process of thought: this quality involves feelings and the wholeness in which the life of man has its being. . . . What is being considered is what a man means totally when he says, "I am." ... There is the rest of detachment and withdrawal when the spirit moves into the depths of the region of the Great Silence,... Here God speaks without words and the self listens without ears."
