The Irish American Sisters of Charity NY who taught me had a special affection for Sister Cabrini. It was the SCNY who gave Frances Cabrini refuge and a place to call home when she first arrived. As fot the author’s statement that Italians were not considered to be white. There is a famous foto of Mulberry Street in 1910 where you are hard pressed to call anyone in it white. And in a mark of ignorance on Feb 1 this year WCBS TV NY CH 2 ran a series of fotos of blacks, individuals, groups, and scenes.in history. Some famous some not. But one of those pics was the one of Mulberry Street. Perhaps someone with greater skill than I, that’s most of you I’d guess, can locate the Pic and post it. For those are the people Frances Cabrini came to serve.
