Harry naci\u00f3 el 7 de diciembre de 1931 en Lancaster, Pensilvania, donde creci\u00f3 con vecinos cu\u00e1queros. Estudi\u00f3 en la Lancaster Mennonite High School antes de obtener una licenciatura en la Eastern Mennonite University (entonces Eastern Mennonite College), una maestr\u00eda en la Universidad de Chicago y un doctorado en la Emory University. Se cas\u00f3 con Esther Peachey en 1954, y en 1956 viajaron a Vietnam con un equipo del Comit\u00e9 Central Menonita, coordinando parte de su trabajo con proyectos del American Friends Service Committee. Trabajaron con un equipo m\u00e9dico y organizaron campos de trabajo y seminarios con estudiantes de la Universidad de Saig\u00f3n hasta 1959. Ense\u00f1\u00f3 en el Eastern Mennonite College de 1963 a 1966, cuando comenz\u00f3 a ense\u00f1ar en el Spelman College.     <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A principios de la d\u00e9cada de 1970, Harry y Esther se mudaron al barrio de Candler Park en Atlanta, Georgia, y comenzaron a asistir al Atlanta Meeting, atra\u00eddos por el testimonio del Meeting contra la guerra de Vietnam, el asesoramiento sobre el servicio militar y los esfuerzos para ayudar a los refugiados. Aunque Harry hablaba de echar de menos la m\u00fasica y los rituales de su fe menonita y pensaba que los cu\u00e1queros daban demasiada importancia al misticismo, se uni\u00f3 al Meeting y sirvi\u00f3 de varias maneras, incluso como miembro del Comit\u00e9 de Historia. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Padre y abuelo cari\u00f1oso, comprometido con vivir de forma sencilla y consciente, dirigi\u00f3 el esfuerzo de Candler Park para evitar que una autopista dividiera la comunidad. En 1981 viaj\u00f3 a la India para estudiar historia y el desarrollo y las influencias de la religi\u00f3n. Vivi\u00f3 en Tortuguero, Costa Rica, durante nueve meses recopilando informaci\u00f3n y grabando historias orales para su primer libro,   <\/span><i><br \/>\n  <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turtle Bogue<\/span><br \/>\n<\/i><b>.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tambi\u00e9n visit\u00f3 Jap\u00f3n, Hong Kong, Camboya, Birmania, Oriente Medio, Nicaragua, San Andr\u00e9s, Providencia y Europa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Su inter\u00e9s por los derechos civiles y el impacto de su movimiento en Atlanta le llev\u00f3 a escribir dos libros m\u00e1s, <\/span><i><br \/>\n  <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Undaunted by the Fight<\/span><br \/>\n<\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> y <\/span><i><br \/>\n  <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sacred Places. <\/span><br \/>\n<\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tambi\u00e9n escribi\u00f3 <\/span><i><br \/>\n  <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Way Opened: A History of Atlanta Friends Meeting, 1943\u20131997.<\/span><br \/>\n<\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Cuando Harry comparti\u00f3 su viaje espiritual, dijo: \u201cLa vida es una peregrinaci\u00f3n con muchas intersecciones. Hacemos el camino al andar. Yo segu\u00ed movi\u00e9ndome y el camino se abri\u00f3 ante m\u00ed\u201d. Se jubil\u00f3 de Spelman en 2003 como profesor em\u00e9rito, aunque su amor por la ense\u00f1anza y el entorno acad\u00e9mico le llev\u00f3 a ense\u00f1ar all\u00ed a tiempo parcial hasta 2009. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Harry le sobreviven cinco hijos, Kristina Lefever, Carla Lefever, Erika Lefever y Dimitri Lefever; tres nietos; un hermano, Paul G.
