This display on 10 African American women is found in the main hallway at Karen House.

Our main page reads :

 

These are African American women.

They are women who work for social change.

They are authors, filmmakers, activists and grandmothers.

They are women who have made a difference,

examples for all of us.

Honoring them is vital in a place like

Karen House Catholic Worker. 

Here, we hold up homeless women and their children, and work to educate ourselves about our own privilege that is the cause of so much injustice.

“a path from where we are to where we should be,”

in the words of Peter Maurin. 

Educating ourselves about other races and cultures, working to dismantle structural racism, and building

 
     

relationships are small but powerful ways we try and build that path.

 

We share the same hope as author Regina Shands Stoltzfus:

“I want my children to love their blackness, and understand that they come from a proud history of people who made things happen, who contributed much to their society, who are beautiful and created in the image of God.”
