Sister Carol Cimino, SSJ, EdD
Sister Carol recently completed a history of her community in the missions in Selma, Alabama on their 80th anniversary:
The Best Girls in the World: A History of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Rochester in the Missions of Central Alabama, 1940-2020
The events of March 7, 1965, known in American civil rights history as “Bloody Sunday” involved the Sisters of Selma in ways they could never have imagined, as they became embroiled in the battle for civil rights, tending to the wounds of those marchers who tried to cross the Edmund Pettis Bridge to make their petition for equality heard.
