The Life Of Blessed Martin De Porres: Saintly American Negro And Patron Of Social Justice is a biographical account of the life of Martin De Porres, a Black American who is now venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church. Written by J.C. Kearns, the book explores De Porres' early life in Lima, Peru, where he was born to a Spanish father and a Black mother. Despite facing discrimination due to his mixed-race heritage, De Porres went on to become a lay brother in the Dominican Order and devoted his life to serving the poor and sick. The book delves into De Porres' many acts of charity and his reputation as a miracle worker, as well as his advocacy for social justice and the rights of marginalized communities. The Life Of Blessed Martin De Porres is a comprehensive look at the life and legacy of this inspiring figure, and sheds light on the intersection of race, religion, and social justice in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
