Looking back on work for racial justice

The Archdiocese of Chicago’s Office for Racial Justice is to close after 14 years on July 1. The office was created to address the sin of racism in 2000, in the wake of the racially motivated beating of Lenard Clark, a young black boy who ventured out of his neighborhood, by white teenagers who had attended Catholic schools, according to an interview the director, Sister Anita Baird, gave the Catholic New World in 2010.
