5.0 out of 5 stars an inspiring story of a truly great man

Backs Against the Wall is an excellent documentary DVD presenting the story of Howard Thurman, an extraordinary minister, a mentor to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and a "spiritual foundation" for the American Civil Rights Movement. I would recommend this film to those interested in 20th-century religious history, the progress of the Civil Rights Movement, and especially the movement's connection with Mahatma Gandhi, whom Dr. Thurman visited on a pilgrimage to India in the 1930's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thurman spiritual counselor to ML King

Howard Thurman was the spiritual counselor/ chaplain to Martin Luther King jr. at Boston University while King was completing his PhD. The documentary shares Thurman’s mystical connection to life, a place deeper than all the suffering he faced working for peace and justice. The documentary tells a timeless story that brings encouragement to all people. A great companion read is Thurman’s “Meditations of the Heart”.

5.0 out of 5 stars Howard Thurman: Spirituality that leads to wisdom, justice, and love.

I showed this video to a group that was studying the history of contemplative living. The group was excited to see this wonderful African American religious leader, a friend of Martin Luther King, advocated non-violence during the civil rights era.
It inspires us to continue this loving and just way of living so needed in these days. If you are seeking more depth
and wisdom for your life, you might enjoy this excellent CD.

My wife and I are both graduates of Boston University and studied there during Dean Thurman’s tenure. We benefited from his counsel. The dvd reminded us of the encouragement we received from one of great minds of our times.

Dean Thurman, as I knew him from Marsh Chapel at Boston University, was an amazing human being. it was nostalgic for me to see his life story on the CD Back Against the Wall. A must for those interested in our American history. Was super interesting and very well documented.
