Explorations of that history in turn provide insight into the complex racial and political order in the city today. In the early 1930s, black Catholic layman Thomas Wyatt Turner called for a national black Catholic organization to represent the voices of black Catholics in the struggle for racial equality. For Turner, blacks needed to be the architects of the movement for racial justice in the Church. Ultimately, the Church’s decision to temper their approach to racial justice resulted in the repression of Turner’s organization, the Federated Colored Catholics, and black self-determination in the Church more generally. By the 1940s, blacks were still attending racially segregated Catholic Churches in New Orleans where the Catholic interracial movement found its strongest supporters. In this period, while some prominent blacks did have a say in the trajectory of the Church’s social action plan, they were still underrepresented at interracial social action meetings. As the Catholic church in New Orleans struggled to implement the Brown v. Board of Education decision (1954) in the 1950s and 60s, black Catholics once again asked that they be the architects of their own liberation, but once again they were underrepresented. In the 1970s when the Associated Catholic Charities resettled thousands of Vietnamese refugees in New Orleans East, the Church disregarded the impact their resettlement efforts would have on an already vi economically and politically bereft city. Blacks argued that the economic assistance the Catholic Church provided the Vietnamese community was not the same assistance they offered the black community. In this period, black Catholics reinvigorated by the Black Power movement began to call for the creation of black Catholic clerical and lay organizations. At this point, blacks were done asking for a seat at the table, now they demanded one. In other words, a complete history of Catholic interracial organizing must necessarily include a discussion of the black Catholic response. Although the Church stumbled to model true racial inclusion in much of the twentieth century, by the twenty-first century, the destruction and suffering left in the wake of Hurricane Katrina allowed the Church to come full circle in its implementation of a Catholic interracial program. Post-Katrina, the Archdiocese of New Orleans, not only provided much needed social services, but it also successfully meditated conflicts between residents and the local and state governments. The Church bridged racial divides through religious worship and verbally committed itself to ensuring that the ‘new’ New Orleans would remain racially and economically diverse. While scholars have glorified specific periods of the Catholic interracial movement arguing that it achieved some change, but ended after integration in the 1960s, my study purports that it has in fact continued well into the twenty-first century. In this post-Katrina moment, the church’s Catholic interracial plan has proven more successful than at any other time in its attempted implementation, in significant part because of black Catholic activism. vii Acknowledgements First and foremost, the completion of my dissertation would not have been possible without the labor and emotional support of my dissertation committee members. Eric Porter, David Brundage and Alice Yang, I would like to thank you for your unwavering assistance over the course of this long process. Thank you for believing in me when I lost faith in the process. Your encouragement has meant more than words can truly express. Other faculty members who aided in my development as a scholar and instructor were Catherine Jones, Lynn Westerkamp, Matthew Lasar and Greg O’Malley. Thank you for showing me what it means to be a well-rounded instructor--one that is there for their students inside and outside of the classroom. I would like to extend a special thanks to my colleagues in the UCSC History Graduate Studies Program--Noel Smyth, Jeffrey Sanceri, Martin Rizzo, Dustin Wright, and Alicia Romero--who spent hours reading my dissertation and providing valuable comments. We helped each other prepare for the QEs, grade papers and we celebrated with one another when we accomplished our academic and life goals. I am extremely grateful that I had the privilege of working with these folks whom I can now call lifelong friends. Last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank UCSC Graduate Program Coordinator, Cindy Morris, for keeping me motivated and helping me get across the finish line. In order to make it to this level, one needs a good amount of institutional support whether it be emotional or financial. I would not have been able to complete my dissertation without the financial support that allowed me to spend months on end viii conducting research in cities outside the Bay area. I would like to thank the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program, the Center for New Racial Studies, and the UCSC Graduate Division for funding my research trips. I would also like to thank the many archivists who helped me gather pages upon pages of material for my study. Special thanks to Michael Courtney for guiding me through the lengthy collections housed at the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Thank you to Deputy Director Christopher Harter for helping me navigate the numerous collections held at the Amistad Research Center. The assistance I received from the library staff at Xavier University proved invaluable in locating materials pertinent to my dissertation. Special thanks to Ms. Ida E. Jones for helping me weed through the Thomas Wyatt Turner Papers stored at the Moorland-Spingarn

You have proven that blessings abound when we fall on our knees in prayer, and so we turn to you in our hour of need. Surrounded by violence and cries for justice, we hear your voice telling us what is required . “Only to do justice and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God” (Mi 6:8). Fill us with your mercy so that we, in turn, may be merciful to others. Strip away pride, suspicion, and racism so that we may seek peace and justice in our communities. Strengthen our hearts so that they beat only to the rhythm of your holy will. Flood our path with your light as we walk humbly toward a future filled with encounter and unity.
