T h e S a n c t u a r y M o v e m e n t
This course will examine the history of the Sanctuary Movement from the 1980s to the 1990s. Started by John Fife and Jim Corbett in Tucson, Arizona, this course seeks to analyze factors such as U.S. foreign policy, refugee policy, undocumented immigration, religion, and churches that gave rise to a national wide movement that worked to protect refugees from Central America seeking asylum in the United States. We will explore the factors that eventually strengthened the movement in the 1980s, the U.S. government’s intent to stop it, and the theology of radical hospitality that emerged out of this movement of religious organizations. Utilizing primary documents from the University of Arizona archives, we will begin the process of piecing together the important histories of lesser-known leaders such as Lydia Lopez and Father Luis Olivares in Los Angeles and the movement’s power in Texas, Illinois, and across the northeast.
