520 |a While most people who are familiar with Dorothy Day know about her social work, pacifist activism, and writing, fewer are familiar with her decades-long commitment to combatting racial injustice. This article draws upon a close reading of Day's personal papers and her own reporting in The Catholic Worker to demonstrate how Day and her paper did what many mainstream newspapers did not: Day and The Catholic Worker invested in covering civil rights on a consistent basis through long-term relationships with southerners, frequent visits to communities of color, and self-reflection on their role in the struggle. This article aims to fill a critical gap in scholarship about not only The Catholic Worker's coverage of racial justice, but the broader Catholic press's coverage of civil rights. Finally, this article will examine the current state of racial justice work in the Catholic Worker Movement, and how conversations about race have evolved within the organization since Day's death.
