Drawing on oral histories and previously sealed Church records, Williams uncovers the rich tradition of Black sisters and nuns as pioneering religious leaders, educators, health care professionals and front-line participants in the civil rights movement. By surmounting longstanding segregation and racism in Catholic religious orders and educational institutions, Black Catholic nuns also helped inform and transform the Church’s stance on racial equality in America.
The lecture is part of an annual series hosted by the St. Thomas More University Parish and the OU Catholic Student Association known as the True Family Lecture.
