African American Saints in the Making with Bishop Perry

African American Catholics have a rich and complicated history. At present, there are three million African American Catholics in the United States. Six African American Catholics have active formal causes for sainthood before the Vatican. Some of these figures escaped slavery and others died as recently as 1990. Any one (or more) of them could become the first canonized African American saint. In this lecture, Bishop Joseph N. Perry discusses the path to sainthood for some of these important figures.
