On Pilgrimage: The Sixties by Robert Ellsberg
This collection of Dorothy Day's On Pilgrimage columns from the 1960s is a chronicle of faith and action. Living among the poor and seeking God in her daily life, Dorothy Day had a special vantage point during this tumultuous decade, marked by the Cuban Revolution, Vatican II, the struggle for Civil Rights, Vietnam protests, and the rise of the United Farmworkers.Dorothy Day was an American journalist, social crusader, and fervent Catholic convert who lived from 1897 to 1980. She founded the Catholic Worker in 1933 with Peter Maurin, a community dedicated to direct relief for the poor and homeless, solidarity with the dispossessed, and social transformation. Day took part in labor fights in the 1930s, the Civil Rights movement, and nonviolent, pacifist opposition to militarism in WWII, Vietnam, and the Cold War, and her claim for canonization in the Catholic Church is still pending. Robert Ellsberg was a member of Dorothy Day's Catholic Worker community in New York City for the last five years of her life (1975-80), serving as managing editor of The Catholic Worker for two years. He is also the author of All Saints and the editor of Dorothy Day: Collected Writings and All the Way to Heaven: Dorothy Day's Selected Letters.
