Black Catholic Ministry

The Office of Black Catholic Ministry sits down with historian Taylor Branch at the 13th annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration at St. Bernardine parish.

George Matysek talks with Father Maurice Henry Sands, executive director of the U.S. Bishops’ Black and Indian Mission Office in Washington, D.C. A priest of the Archdiocese of Detroit and a member of the Ojibwe, Odawa and Potawatomi tribes, Father Sands brings a deeply personal perspective to the Church’s long history with Native and African American communities.
