In 1954, Marcia Gleckler, a new college graduate who grew up on the cotton fields of the Texas Panhandle and had never traveled far from home, gathered her courage and sailed from New York for her first job. Before the Peace Corps, this three-year opportunity to live and work in other lands was offered by The Methodist Church. A-3’s went to Africa, and Marcia’s experience in Angola was nothing less than life changing. Years later, these reflections about the ultimate sacrifice of one of her young colleagues in Luanda, Angola, martyred when she was 28 years old, are a tribute to the courage of Deolinda Rodrigues de Almeida, now revered by her people. |
