Celebrating positive protest with 'Come Alive!: The Spirited Art of Sister Corita'

In celebration of Women’s Marches all over the United States and the world this weekend, we are pleased to feature this photograph of a 1964 Mary’s Day march from Come Alive!: The Spirited Art of Sister Corita. Essayist Daniel Berrigan details a scandal that erupted after the pacifist/activist artist/nun featured the text, “Mary Mother is the juiciest tomato of them all” on a mid-60s serigraph poster reclaiming the greatest female symbol in all of Catholocism. “Who owned the Blessed Virgin?” he asks. “Well, one thing was clear: Women didn’t… Beyond doubt, dynamite dwelt in the images… She had claimed the icon.”
