Uncovers the rarely spoken about history of race relations in a South African congregation of Roman Catholic women, which remains painful and contested to this day. A group of black sisters was compelled to leave the Newcastle Congregation of the Dominican Sisters in 1939 and join a newly founded congregation for black sisters without consultation.
