Deep Down Things

On writers about color; speakers and a saint of color, plus making all Catholic writers better known.

Writers and Characters: White and Black

From Katy Carl, Dappled Things Editor in Chief: "And continuing on the theme of revered authors and their treatments of racial divisions in the American South, this was so good."

CATHOLIC SPEAKERS OF COLOR

Recommended by Karen Barbre Ullo, Managing Editor.

From "Purpose of This Website:"

“Hi! I am Leticia Ochoa Adams. I wanted to create this website to help conference organizers find Catholic Speakers of Color. I am so proud of this project and hope that it is a beacon of hope for our Church moving forward."
