The documentary "A Place At The Table" tells their stories, the impact of their faith witness on the American church and society, and how their histories and recognition is influencing the faith and lives of Black Catholic clergy and laity today. The Catholic Church is starting to recognize their impact and may soon name any or all of them Saints. It's time to hear their stories.
