Rev. Dr. Alton B. Pollard III, MDiv ’81, dean of the Howard University Divinity School, is a 2016 recipient of the Peter J. Gomes STB ’68 Memorial Honors.
As a scholar, a minister, and an activist, Pollard has dedicated his life to ensuring that the humanity of every person is acknowledged.
“The Christian tradition simply says ‘love your neighbor as yourself,’” he explains. “It’s language that’s writ large across many faith traditions. We have not always done well in living up to that creed, whether it comes to marriage equality, transgendered persons, or race and ethnicity. But we owe future generations a world that is better than the enmity and bitterness that we have found.”
Selected annually by the HDS Alumni/Alumnae Council, the Peter J. Gomes STB ’68 Memorial Honors recognizes distinguished HDS alumni whose excellence in life, work, and service pays homage to the mission and values of Peter J. Gomes STB ’68 and Harvard Divinity School.
