Welcome back to Under the Ginkgo Tree. Today we revisit a panel conversation moderated by Liam at Maryhouse Catholic Worker with Martha Hennessy and Dr. Cornel West on May 1st, 2022. This conversation was a celebration of Mayday, which is known as the “birthday” of the CW movement. On this day in 1933, Dorothy and her friends went to Union Square to hand out the first edition of the newspaper.
In this episode, Jim and Liam frame the conversation by recalling their own shared connections with the Catholic Worker movement. We also lift up prayers for the late Pope Francis.
