Oral history interview with Richard Cleaver

Interview conducted for Voices from the Catholic Worker. Richard Cleaver discusses the scholar-worker tradition of the Catholic Worker, the differences between the New York and Des Moines Catholic Worker houses and midwestern houses generally, and attending Dorothy Day's funeral. He also speaks about his conversion to Catholicism, and why it was the right thing for him as a gay man, and mixing politics and religion. Cleaver also theorizes about where the Catholic Worker Movement is headed, and highlights the issues it needs to address. He recounts visiting Marquette's Catholic Worker Archives, and refers to Catholic Worker Brian Terrell throughout. The many interruptions in audio are present in the original recording. Interviewed by Rosalie Riegle Troester.
