Oct 2017

I have been watching the series Finding Your Roots on PBS. So far many of the celebrities who had ancestors from the South, their ancestors had slaves and some fought in the Confederacy. It was not that long ago, slavery, and we have come a long way from then, in terms of civil rights. I also have been reading Thomas Merton. I re-read his autobiography Seven Storey Mountain and his friendship with Baroness Catherine De Hueck Doherty who started Friendship House in Harlem. Merton almost went to join her in Harlem, but instead chose to enter the monastery.
