“The Black Congregations Resource Center at the Howard University School of Divinity (HUSD) is pleased to announce the appointment of Harold Dean Trulear, Ph.D. [Leading with Conviction™ 2017], as its new director. Trulear, an esteemed faculty member and associate professor of Applied Theology at the University, brings a wealth of experience and expertise to this role.
“In this role, Trulear will lead efforts to develop a comprehensive set of resources aimed at supporting clergy, lay leaders, seminarians, and theological educators. Thanks to a generous $1.25 million grant from the Lilly Endowment Inc., this initiative will empower African American preachers and congregations by equipping them with the necessary tools to address social justice issues, enhance congregational care, and deliver impactful sermons.
“‘My appointment as the director of the Black Congregations Resource Center is the most significant opportunity of my 46 years in theological education. The Center, an outgrowth of the 2013 ‘Equipping the Saints’ initiative under Dr. Alton Pollard, equips clergy and lay leadership with thoughtful research and practical ideas,’ said Trulear. ‘While its mission points to HUSD’s future, it honors the tradition of Howard’s Institute of Religion and other efforts that reflect HUSD’s unique role as the only theological school within a historically Black research university. Through research, webinars, podcasts, convenings, and our website, the center will be a major resource for Black congregations.’”
In our 10th anniversary year, JustLeadershipUSA’s work of educating, elevating, and empowering justice-impacted leaders continues and is growing even stronger!
We are preparing for our very special 10th anniversary gala in New York City on October 21st, and we would love for you to be there with us.
This is going to be a very special time to look back on the past decade of JLUSA’s important work, the 1,600+ leaders we have helped get to the next level in their work, and even more importantly, we will look ahead to the next 10 years and beyond!
We can’t do this without you. We need your support to help us continue to do this work now and into the future.

Please plan now to join us in person or give a one-time $100 gift or set up a recurring $10 monthly donation to celebrate JLUSA’s 10th anniversary year, and together we will build a fair and just U.S. Thank you!
