BCM editor Nate Tinner-Williams in November 2020 at the newly renovated grave of Daniel Rudd, founder of the nation's first Black Catholic newspaper.

"Long have I searched for Catholic writers to speak to some of the topics that are not spoken about enough. I've been following BCM since your first year, and haven't been disappointed. As a young Black Catholic, it brings me so much joy to see other young Black Catholics representing, and it inspires me to do more for my community. We have to show the world that Black Catholics are out here! And we have some things to say!"
