Dorothy Day (1897-1980) was an activist who worked for such social causes as pacifism and women's suffrage through the prism of the Catholic Church. Intrigued by the Catholic faith for years, Dorothy Day converted in 1927. In 1933, she co-founded The Catholic Worker, a newspaper promoting Catholic teachings that became very successful and spawned the Catholic Worker Movement, which tackled issues of social justice guided by its religious principles. Day also helped establish special homes to help those in need. In 2015, Pope Francis called her out as one of "four great Americans," along with Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Thomas Merton. Today on From the Vault, we feature the voice of Dorothy Day from a 1960 KPFA interview, and we will hear from Blas Bonpane, director of the Office of the Americas, who knew her.
