CWN Editor's Note: Fifty years after his ordination to the priesthood, Cardinal Wilton Gregory, 75, looked back on his life, including his childhood.
The prelate recalled his attendance at the wake of Emmett Till and spoke about the Chicago priest and nun who welcomed him into the parish school, even though he was a then-non-Catholic child of a single mother. (Gregory became Catholic at the age of 11.)
