Interfaith Peace-Builders mourns the loss of Dr. Vincent Harding, an IFPB delegate and an inspirational leader, who passed away this week. Wed like to pass on this tribute by Dr. Clayborne Carson in his memory. Dr. Carson and Dr. Harding traveled with the 2012 Civil and Human Rights Delegation organized by the Dorothy Cotton Institute and Interfaith Peace-Builders. Although our delegation included a number of prominent veterans of the African American freedom struggle, Vincent was clearly our most influential member. Palestinian activists quickly learned to trust him as a mentor and friend. Although he was already in his 80′s, he displayed remarkable energy as he engaged in extended discussions with Palestinians seeking his guidance. This was particularly evident during our meetings with leaders of the nonviolent resistance movement in the villages of Bil’in and Nabi Saleh, the site of weekly demonstrations protesting the Israeli expropriation of Palestinian land. Dr. Vincent Harding, Presente!
