“Our dehumanization of the Negro then is indivisible from our dehumanization of ourselves: the loss of our own identity is the price we pay for our annulment of his.” (Mutatis mutandis all immigrants, imo.) www.penguin.co.uk/discover/art...

An extract from James Baldwin's classic essay 'Many Thousands Gone''
In this passage taken from his 1955 collection Notes of a Native Son, the iconic writer examines what it means to be Black, and the ways in which myth and history lay heavily upon it.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1930: A white mob of thousands abducts, brutally beats and lynch two young African American men, Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith. This horrific event of racial terror became the catalyst for a multigenerational saga of activism, healing and artistic controversy. /1
Infamous photo of the lynching of Shipp and Smith taken by local studio photographer Lawrence Beitler. It shows the battered bodies hanging from the tree, surrounded by a crowd of white onlookers who were smiling and pointing. (I cropped out the bodies to avoid a Graphic Image label. It’s easy to find online if you want to see it.) Beitler sold thousands of copies of the print. Photos and postcards of lynchings were produced, traded and collected as souvenirs by white crowds well into the 20th century. These gruesome images served as celebratory mementos of white supremacy and were mailed openly through the U.S. postal system until restrictions tightened.

In this new video, Carmen Acevedo Butcher reflects on how singing and the practice of Lectio Divina have carried her through trauma. Drawing on voices from Hildegard of Bingen to Thomas Merton and Richard Rohr, Carmen invites us into healing.

What, exactly, is "Catholic" in your culture when: - 1 in 5 Catholics in the US are either at risk of deportation or live with someone who is - 61% of immigrants vulnerable to deportation are Catholic - 29% of US Catholics are immigrants - 14% of US Catholics are the children of immigrants (1/2)

Greg Boyle at CAC event shared a favorite word of Ignatius (acatamiento) -- translates to affectionate awe. We should look at the poor and dispossessed and the migrant as God does. "Let's try to look at the poor with awe at what they are carrying rather than with judgment of how they carry it."
