Black History Month – Raising Awareness
From the Dominican Sisters of Sparkill 2022 Direction Statement…
Both individually and corporately, we will examine our lifestyle in light of Laudato Sí’s message that the cry of Earth and the cry of the poor are one. Faithful to our Dominican charism, we remain committed to the pursuit of truth in order to face and address the injustice of racism, war, exploitation of women and children, exclusion of migrants, and all other threats to peace.
Racism impacts all these issues and is deeply embedded in the policies, practices, and institutions that structure daily life. Our commitment to justice calls us to work to dismantle racism.
