An excerpt from the Washington Post -
Former slave, on possible path to sainthood, to be entombed in Denver cathedral
By Meagan Flynn
On the streets of post-Civil War Denver, Julia Greeley was unmistakable as she stood at doorsteps of poor families in the middle of the night, pulling a red wagon behind her and wearing a floppy black hat. Because the former slave lost an eye as a child when she was whipped by a slave master in Hannibal, Mo., some people in Denver knew her as one-eyed Julia.
But most called her an angel of charity.
