    -

    American educator Helen Keller overcame the adversity of being blind and deaf to become one of the 20th century's leading humanitarians, as well as co-founder of the ACLU. Helen Adams Keller was born on June 27, 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama. In 1882, she was stricken by an illness that left her blind and deaf. Beginning in 1887, Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan, helped her make tremendous progress with her ability to communicate, and Keller went on to college, graduating in 1904. In 1920, Keller helped found the ACLU. During her lifetime, she received many honors in recognition of her accomplishments.

  • Pauli Murray, civil rights activist, lawyer, groundbreaking Episcopalian priest, poet and author
    Sun, July 1, 2018
    -

    For a civil rights activist, lawyer, groundbreaking Episcopalian priest, poet and author, likely transgender, lesbian woman of multiracial descent, Pauli Murray’s legacy remains largely unknown. And yet, she may be the perfect embodiment of our current America – certainly of our current Seattle. The Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray was a champion for civil and human rights who grew up in Durham and was the first African-American woman ordained to the Episcopal priesthood. In 2012, she was named to Holy Women, Holy Men by the 77th General Convention of the Episcopal Church and thus became an Episcopal saint. According to her entry, "Growing up as a mixed-race person in the South, [Murray] became an advocate of ‘the universal cause of freedom,’ and throughout her life she worked tirelessly and with distinction as a lawyer, an advocate for civil and labor rights and feminism through her legal writings, essays and poetry.” Pauli Murray was a champion for civil and human rights who grew up in Durham. Her insights and vision continue to resonate powerfully in our times. As a historian, attorney, poet, activist, teacher and Episcopal priest, she worked throughout her life to address injustice, to give voice to the unheard, to educate, and to promote reconciliation between races and economic classes. Her beautifully written memoir, Proud Shoes: The Story of an American Family, was published in 1956. The book chronicles her roots and paints a compelling portrait of Durham during its formative years.

  • Mavis Staples (born July 10, 1939) is an American rhythm and blues and gospel singer, actress, and civil rights activist
    Tue, July 10, 2018
    -

    Mavis Staples has recorded and performed with her family's band The Staple Singers, and also as a solo artist. Mavis Staples was only ten years old when she stood up to sing before the congregation of a Chicago church. But with her small chin held high, she was already embracing her gift of a uniquely powerful, breath-taking voice. The family put on a concert in Montgomery, Alabama, which Martin Luther King Jr. was attending. The group later had a number of soul hits and a No. 1 pop song with "Let's Do It Again," from the film soundtrack of the same name. Mavis has also established a solo career while working with a range of artists, from Prince to Natalie Merchant.

  • Carlos Mugica (Oct 7, 1930-May 11, 1974) Argentine Roman Catholic priest and activist
    Wed, July 11, 2018
    -

    born in Buenos Aires, in 1930, into a privileged background, enrolled at the University of Buenos Aires in 1949 and was accepted into its Law School; but in 1952, following a year in Europe, he resolved to enter the priesthood. "Nothing nor anyone will impede me from serving Christ and his Church by fighting alongside the poor for their liberation. If the Lord shall grant me the privilege – which I don't deserve – of losing my life in this endeavor, I shall be at His disposal." Mugica was assassinated by a right-wing death squad. Hhe did not immediately die from his wounds and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where his last words were to a nurse: Now more than ever, we must be with the people.

  • Mercedes de Jesús Molina (24 September 1828 -- 12 June 1883; Ecuador): Roman Catholic missionary
    Thu, July 12, 2018
    -

    Mercedes was a missionary who devoted her life to the care of abandoned children. She was the daughter of Miguel Molina y Arbeláez and Rosa Ayala y Aguilar. After the death of her father, when she was two years old, Mercedes and her mother moved to Guayaquil. Then at the age of fifteen Mercedes suffered the death of her mother. A bad fall from a horse brought about her conversion to absolute piety and strict penance. From then on she devoted her life to care of abandoned children. She did this first as mother and teacher to orphans in Guayaquil then in Cuenca, where she shared a home with Saint Narcisa de Jesús. Mercedes later volunteered her services to the Jesuits to assist in the conversion of the Jivaroan peoples. After the missionaries had to give up their mission territory, Mercedes settled in Riobamba. There she took vows of poverty, chasity and obedience and founded the Sisters of Mariana de Jesús, named after Saint Mariana de Jesús, on 14 April 1873. This institute provided care orphans, converts, and women who had been released from prison.

  • Carlos Manuel Rodríguez (22 November 1918 – 13 July 1963; Puerto Rico): Roman Catholic layperson and champion of liturgical renewal and recovery before it became popular.
    Fri, July 13, 2018
    -

    Carlos Manuel Cecilio Rodriguez Santiago was born in Caguas, Puerto Rico, in 1918. He is the first Puerto Rican to be declared “Blessed” by the Church.When Carlos grew up, the Mass and other celebrations were prayed in Latin. Carlos dreamed of a time when people would be able to hear and respond to the prayers of the Mass in Spanish, the language of his people.As a young adult, Carlos published magazines to help people better understand the liturgy and the seasons of the Church year. He translated articles about the liturgy from Latin or English into Spanish. He taught religious education classes to high school students and organized discussion groups throughout his country. It is said that the most important work he did was to translate all the rituals of the Church into Spanish, often using his own money to do so. Even though the translations were not prayed at celebrations during Carlos’ lifetime, he used them to teach young people and adults the meaning of the words we pray.

  • Kateri Tekakwitha (1656 – 17 April 1680; Algonquin- Mohawk): First Native American canonized by the Roman Catholic Church
    Sat, July 14, 2018
    -

    Tegaquitha, "Lily of the Mohawks," as she was popularly known, was the first recorded Native American Roman Catholic nun in North American. She was born in 1656 at Gandawague Castle near Fonda, New York, to a Mohawk father and a Christianized Algonquin mother of the Turtle clan. At the age of ten she became strongly influenced by Jesuit missionaries and eventually on Easter Sunday, in 1635, she was baptized despite the strong opposition of her uncle and took the name Kateri (Catherine). After this event, she was shunned by most of her tribe, especially when she refused to work in the fields on Sundays. In 1677 she escaped from her village and traveled the 200 miles by canoe to join a colony of Christian Native American at Sault St. Louis, not far from Montreal. Here, her life was one of deep asceticism and piety. She became a nun. Her devotions and self-denial were so remarkable that many miraculous visions and cures were claimed in her name

  • Daniel Thambyrajah (4 May 1908 – 17 July 1970; Sri Lanka/India): Methodist pastor, evangelist and leader
    Tue, July 17, 2018
    -

    “D. T.” was born in Sri Lanka 4 May 1908, and died Vellore, India, 17 July, 1970. He was the son of a lawyer and grandson of a pastor and poet. Educated in Jaffna, he studied at Bangalore (1929-1933) became SCM national secretary, was ordained to the Methodist ministry (1936), served as a district evangelist and took part in the IMC Tambaram Conference (1938) where he disappointed C F Andrews by his Barthian sympathies. After being YMCA evangelism secretary in Geneva (1939-1940), he was in pastoral ministry and general secretary of the National Christian Council of Ceylon (1941-1945). He spoke at the WCC inaugural meeting (1948), was chair of the youth department (1948-1952), and evangelism secretary (1953-1959). Instrumental in the founding of the East Asia Christian Conference in 1957, he was its first general secretary and chair from 1968. He compiled the EACC Hymnal and his hymns are found in other collections. He traveled widely including several visits to New Zealand, the last being to speak at an ecumenical youth conference in Hamilton in 1966. His archives include letters home to his father in Sri Lanka, written by admirers in countries around the world who asked what they could do and were given the answer that his father at home would love to know how his son was doing. They are a fascinating indication not only of the impression Niles made, but of ethnic perceptions even as prejudices were breaking down.

  • Nelson Mandela, Civil Rights Activist, President (non-U.S.), Writer(1918–2013)
    Wed, July 18, 2018
    -

    Nelson Mandela was born on July 18, 1918, in Mvezo, Transkei, South Africa. Becoming actively involved in the anti-apartheid movement in his 20s, Mandela joined the African National Congress in 1942. For 20 years, he directed a campaign of peaceful, nonviolent defiance against the South African government and its racist policies. In 1993, Mandela and South African President F.W. de Klerk were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to dismantle the country's apartheid system. In 1994, Mandela was inaugurated as South Africa's first black president. In 2009, Mandela's birthday (July 18) was declared "Mandela Day" to promote global peace and celebrate the South African leader's legacy. Mandela died at his home in Johannesburg on December 5, 2013, at age 95.

  • Albert Lutuli (c. 1898 – 21 July 1967; South Africa):Africa's First Winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace
    Sat, July 21, 2018
    -

    Chief Albert Lutuli was a Methodist activist, teacher, and Nobel Prize winner for his non-violent struggle against apartheid. Albert John Mvumbi Luthuli was born sometime around 1898 near Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia, the son of a Seventh Day Adventist missionary. Luthuli was deeply religious, and during his time at Adam's College he became a lay preacher. His Christian beliefs acted as a foundation for his approach to political life in South Africa at a time when many of his contemporaries were calling for a more militant response to Apartheid. In 1935 Luthuli accepted the chieftaincy of the Groutville reserve (this was not an hereditary position, but awarded as the result of an election) and was suddenly immersed in the realities of South Africa's racial politics. He joined the African National Congress (ANC) in 1945 and was elected Natal provincial president in 1951. At the end of 1952 Albert Luthuli was elected president-general of the ANC. The previous president, Dr James Moroka, lost support when he pleaded not-guilty to criminal charges laid as a result of his involvement in the Defiance Campaign, rather than accepting the campaign's aim of imprisonment and the tying up of government resources. (Nelson Mandela, provincial president for the ANC in Transvaal, automatically became deputy-president of the ANC.) The government responded by banning Luthuli, Mandela, and nearly 100 others. Repeated banning caused difficulties for the leadership of the ANC, but Luthuli was re-elected as president-general in 1955 and again 1958. On 21 July 1967, whilst out walking near his home, Luthuli was hit by a train and died. He was supposedly crossing the line at the time - an explanation dismissed by many of his followers who believed more sinister forces were at work.
