    Dorothy Day: A Radical Saint of the City
    The Village Trip Lecture Given by Robert Ellsberg

    Jefferson Market Library 425 6th Avenue, NY, United States

    Dorothy Day, champion of the oppressed, witness for peace, was born in Brooklyn and spent most of her life in New York’s Lower East Side. In the 1920s, while working as a journalist for progressive papers, she became close to Eugene O'Neill and others in the Greenwich Village scene. After her conversion to Catholicism, she founded the Catholic Worker newspaper and the first of her “houses of hospitality” combining service to the poor and work for justice.
    Robert Ellsberg, a former managing editor of the CW and editor of Day’s writings, will describe her New York journey and her road to possible sainthood.
