A reckoning with racism.(historian Shannen Dee Williams)

[...]much new information became available that Williams had to postpone the deadline for her book. In one post-World War П story Williams has unearthed, when a candidate with a French-Creole surname failed to disclose her race in a letter of inquiry to a white congregation, the major superior wrote to the woman's school, asking, "Is she a Negro?" "The Catholic Church's record on racial justice is not good," WiHiams said. Anne Lythgoe, a Dominican Sister of Peace, can't pinpoint exactly why it's taken white sisters this long to address their own racism and implicit bias, though she offers up the Buddhist concept that when the student is ready, the teacher comes.
