Howard Thurman Center A bit of advice for those of you planning to dress up like an “illegal alien” for Halloween: don’t! Halloween is supposed to be a time to get together with friends and act silly, not racist. So, please leave your sombreros, gold teeth, “Indian” feathers and blackface at home.

I am tired. I am tired of race, tired of skin color, tired of it all. These exhausted topics, in my eyes, are overrated. Race and skin color has predominated my college experience thus far. In high school, it wasn’t that big of an issue. ...

Howard Thurman Center
We're excited to announce that the Howard Thurman Center will be hosting a lecture and discussion on THURSDAY 10/15 at 7:00 PM with JOHN PRENDERGAST, a rock-star in the world of genocide prevention.
Prendergast is a co-founder of Enough (www.enoughproject.org) and author of Not on Our Watch, a New York Times bestseller... that he co-authored with actor Don Cheadle.
Prendergast was involved in a number of peace processes in Africa while he was director of African Affairs at the National Security Council and special advisor at the Department of State. He’s now working on two new books, one that focuses on his 20 years in the Big Brother program, and the other on human rights and peace advocacy.
With NBA stars Tracy McGrady and Derek Fisher, Prendergast co-founded the Darfur Dream Team Sister Schools Program, which connects schools in the United States with schools in the Darfurian refugee camps. He also helped create the Raise Hope for Congo Campaign aimed at ending violence against women and girls in the Congo.
Prendergast travels regularly to Africa's war zones on fact-finding missions, peace-making initiatives, and awareness-raising trips.
If you’re an individual or part of an organization involved in GENOCIDE PREVENTION, WOMEN’S ISSUES, GLOBAL HEALTH and/or HUMAN RIGHTS, we’d love your help in promoting this event. Please email me directly at raul@bu.edu if you’d like to get involved. Otherwise, mark your calendars for John’s visit on Thursday, October 15. I hope to see you soon!
