"Seemed to Be Collaborators"

...[W]e found ourselves in 1935 with the Communists picketing the German consulate at the Battery.

It was not the first time we seemed to be collaborators...I felt then, and do now, that the fact that the Communists made issue of Negro exploitation and labor trouble was no reason why we should stay out of the situation. "The truth is the truth," writes St. Thomas, "and proceeds from the Holy Ghost, no matter from whose lips it comes."--Dorothy Day, The Long Loneliness, pg. 206
