EVAN OSNOS in The New Yorker, "Father Mike: A militant white priest fights for his black parishioners on the South Side": "For forty years, [Mike] Pfleger has worked and lived at the Faith Community of St. Sabina, Chicago's largest African-American Catholic church. His neighborhood, Auburn-Gresham, is ninety-eight per cent black. Pfleger is white. At sixty-six, he has heavy eyes and side-swept brown hair that has not changed much in color or style since the Johnson Administration. 'It's easier to get a gun in my neighborhood than it is a computer,' he told ... President [Obama], adding, 'For many years, nobody even cared about Chicago, because the violence is primarily black and brown.'" bit.ly
