We in SNAP join hundreds of thousands of Americans in mourning the passing of a real hero, John Seigenthaler of Nashville. He quietly helped our group for years.

His most noteworthy achievements were in journalism and government, especially his courage during the civil rights movement. But behind-the-scenes, he was in touch with our organization’s leadership, both locally and nationally.

He was justifiably outraged by how Catholic officials acted – and still act – irresponsibly in child sex cases. And he listened patiently when we described our plight to him while also offering us helpful advice and information.

He will be sorely missed.
