The Howard Thurman Program at Stetson was established in 1996 in partnership with New Birth Inc., a national board of African-American leaders headed by the Rev. Jefferson Rogers. Through the program and Rogers, Stetson is working to extend the legacy of Daytona Beach native Howard Thurman, who led the leaders of the American civil rights movement. The goal is to integrate the work of scholars with community leaders to find solutions to social, religious and ethnic problems.
