A new documentary from NewGroup Media and the Diocese of Jackson, MS, "Going Home Like a Shooting Star: Thea Bowman’s Journey to Sainthood", presents the riveting life of my classmate and childhood friend, Sister Thea Bowman, an African American Catholic Franciscan Sister who used her powerful gifts to educate and challenge the church and society to grow in racial inclusivity. Her skills of preaching, music, and teaching moved many to begin to confront their own racism while she urged her African American brothers and sisters to claim their gifts and share their “fully functioning” personhood.
