“To place these two individuals side by side can seem rather strange. To say the least they were not contemporaries. What could these two very different individuals possibly have in common?” For some insightful reflections on what they have in common visit dePaul’s Annual Vincent de Paul lecture published in Vincentian Heritage in 1991

The genius of Vincent and Saul Alinsky is found in their ability to establish relationships with persons from all walks of life, from the various social classes, and to enlist their resources in the realization of the mission.
