The Luminous Darkness is a commentary on what segregation does to the human soul. First published in the 1960s during the struggle for integration of blacks in the United States, Howard Thurman's insights apply today as we still try to heal the wounds of those days and as we watch the fight against apartheid in South Africa. Thurman bares the evil of segregation and points to the ground of hope which can bring all men and women together. --PUBLISHER.
