...community has a long history of working to combat racism. I also had some encounters with racism since entering the Sisters of Providence Congregation. In 1996, the Sisters of Providence sued a landlord in Chicago for housing discrimination. Two white Sisters of Providence had lived in an apartment on the northwest side of Chicago for three years. One sister transferred ministry and moved out. Another sister, who happened to be African-American, moved in. Within a week the management told the...
