By pledging $100 million for slave descendants, Jesuits are owning their history
May 4, 2021 national correspondent
Isaac Hawkins Hall is seen on the campus of Georgetown University April 4, 2017. The hall, previously known as Mulledy Hall and later Freedom Hall, was renamed in 2017 for one of the 272 enslaved men, women and children sold by Georgetown s Jesuit community to plantation owners in Louisiana in 1838. Hawkins was the first enslaved person listed in the sale documents. (Credit: Tyler Orsburn/CNS).
For two descendants of slaves sold by the Jesuits in the 19th century, George Floyd’s death at the hands of disgraced Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin last May served as a reminder of what their ancestors endured, and how far the country still has to go.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and health-care officials last week launched a program to dispel myths surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine. The $60 million state program – in partnership with OSF Healthcare System, the Illinois Primary Health Care Association, and the Illinois Public Health Association – will build “confidence among our unvaccinated residents,” Pritzker said.
“This program is about one-on-one connections involving established, trusted members of the community,” he said. “Misinformation packaged as truth-telling on social media makes the decision to get vaccinated nerve-racking.”
There’s some confusion about getting COVID-19 vaccinations, which has led to reluctance to get protected and protect others, so concerned health, community and church leaders are appealing to people to get vaccinated since it’s morally acceptable AND an act of charity.

As President Biden marks 100 days in office on Thursday, leaders of Catholic organizations working in areas the administration has pegged as priorities say that they are grateful for signs of progress but caution that more is needed to fulfill campaign promises. At the same time, some bishops continue to be highly critical of Mr. Biden, with some suggesting that the nation’s second Catholic president should not be allowed to receive Communion.
