TOLTON, from Slave to Priest is a moving multimedia presentation featuring actor Jim Coleman as Fr. Augustus Tolton. The Anti-Racism Committee of the Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate (ARC) sponsors this presentation by St. Luke Productions. Fr. Tolton was born a slave in 1854 in Missouri. He escaped to freedom with his courageous mother and a baby brother across the Mississippi River to Quincy, Illinois. The family continued to experience hardship and persecution. When he grew up, Tolton sought to become a priest, but he could not gain admission to a seminary in the U.S. because of his race. He was finally accepted in Rome; after ordination Fr. Tolton was sent back to Illinois, first Quincy and then Chicago. This first African American priest in the United States died in 1897. Fr. Augustus Tolton's cause is now up for canonization; he is now recognized as venerable. This presentation is suitable for ages 10 and up. This presentation will be held at the University of St. Francis, Sexton Auditorium, 505 Wilcox, Joliet, IL. For more information, please click on the picture or title link.

The Northwest Side Coalition Against Racism & Hate is hosting a Black History month event, “Lynching in America: Confronting the Legacy of Racial Terror”, on Thursday, February 27, 2020 from 7pm to 9pm at the Norwood Park Train Station meeting room, 6088 W. Northwest Highway, Chicago, Il. This special Black History Month event will spotlight the experience of being present for the opening ceremonies of the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, AL in 2018. You will learn about our nation’s brutal history of racial terrorism, in which over 4,000 lynching victims were killed. Michael Rabbitt and Leon Reed will share the story of their visit to the memorial and Legacy Museum (“From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration”), as we seek to spark greater awareness and understanding of the horrific legacy of lynching. For in order to heal the deep wounds of our present, we must face the truth of our past.
