Saint Katharine Drexel, Apostle to the Oppressed
by Lou BaldwinFrom the book: When the Catholic Church, through the intricate canonization process, declares an individual a saint, it gives recognition to the heroic virtue of his or her life, and says, "Beyond a doubt, this wonderful person has achieved what should be the goal of everyone - salvation." While canonization bestows a certain amount of honor and glory on the newly named saint, the real purpose is to present that holy man or woman as a worthy example for those of us still on earth. Katharine Drexel cannot be dismissed as a social worker in religious garb. Nor is she merely the foundress of a religious congregation for women. Her "heroic virtue" shines through on several levels. First of all, there is her own formation in an extraordinarily pious family, which looked beyond wealth to man's duty to man. There is also her own complete renunciation of money and the things it buys for service to others. There is her great love of God, best exemplified by her devotion to the Eucharistic Christ. There is her deep empathy with people of color, flying in the face of the prevailing prejudices of her day. And ultimately, there is her determination to help these same persecuted people know Jesus Christ, a commission accepted by all too few of her own co-religionists. Katharine Drexel became a saint, not by flat of the Pope, but by showing others a road to sanctity. Her path might be different than that of a St. Isaac Jogues, a St. Paul or a Dorothy Day - ultimately we choose our own path. But her example is one of the shining guideposts that can guide us as we journey in this new millennium.

American Speeches: Political Oratory from Abraham Lincoln to Bill Clinton
by Ted WidmerFrom the book: Public speeches have profoundly shaped American history and culture, transforming not only our politics but also our language and our sense of national identity. This volume collects the unabridged texts of 83 eloquent and dramatic speeches delivered by 45 American public figures between 1865 and 1997, beginning with Abraham Lincoln's last speech on Reconstruction and ending with Bill Clinton's heartfelt tribute to the Little Rock Nine. During this period American political oratory continued to evolve, as a more conversational style, influenced by the intimacy of radio and television, emerged alongside traditional forms of rhetoric. Included are speeches on Reconstruction by Thaddeus Stevens and African-American congressman Robert Brown Elliott, Frederick Douglass's brilliant oration on Abraham Lincoln, and Oliver Wendell Holmes's "touched with fire" Memorial Day Address. Speeches by Robert Ingersoll and William Jennings Bryan capture the fervor of 19th-century political conventions, while Theodore Roosevelt and Carl Schurz offer opposing views on imperialism. Ida B. Wells and Mary Church Terrell denounce the cruelty of lynching and the injustice of Jim Crow; Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Carrie Chapman Catt advocate the enfranchisement of women; and Woodrow Wilson and Henry Cabot Lodge present conflicting visions of the League of Nations. Also included are wartime speeches by George Patton and Dwight Eisenhower; an address on the atomic bomb by J. Robert Oppenheimer; Richard Nixon's "Checkers Speech"; Malcolm X's "The Ballot or the Bullet"; Barry Goldwater's speech to the 1964 Republican convention; Mario Savio urging Berkeley students to stop "the machine"; Barbara Jordan defending the Constitution during Watergate; and an extensive selection of speeches by Franklin Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan. Ted Widmer, editor, is t
