I am struck by commonalities sisters shared about their Selma experiences. In life's powerful moments, we experience events in real-time; only later do we stop to reflect on the meaning of our actions.
Sr. Rosemary Flanigan has been called "ethics in action" and a "force of nature." In a GSR interview, she reflects on her experience at a voting rights march in Selma in 1965, and the demands of racial justice today.
Sr. Barbara Moore was among a group of Catholic sisters (and one of only two Black sisters) who went to Selma, Alabama, in March 1965 to protest the inequality of voting rights for Black Americans.
