SANCTUARY: A Story of American Conscience and the Law in Collision

Ann Crittenden

4.9/5 (19676 ratings)

Description:Sanctuary is the story of an American community's courageous response to a human crisis. It describes how a handful of people in Arizona in the 1980's, led by a Quaker rancher, a Presbyterian minister, and a Catholic nun, among others, offered help to hundreds of people fleeing death squads and civil war in Central America. Supporters of the Sanctuary movement set up a modern-day Underground Railroad, smuggling Central American refugees across the Mexican border into Tuscon, where they received shelter and safe passage from area churches. They persisted in defiance of the Reagan Administration's refusal to grant refugee status to Central Americans. The government responded by sending spies into several churches, and indicting eleven people, most of them ministers or lay church workers. Sanctuary tells this dramatic story from its beginning in the desert to its conclusion in a court room, highlighting a cast of character's no novelist could invent.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
