TBT: The Selma Effect

For this week's edition of Throwback Thursday we'd like to share an article published earlier this week on Global Sisters Report. Sr. Margaret Ellen Traxler, SSND, was one of the Catholic sisters who marched from Selma 50 years ago - an experience which led her to become more deeply involved in that movement. This excellent article explains how sisters wound up at the famous march, why their presence became important, and what the impact of Selma has been on sisters across the country in the decades since. Well worth a read!
