Americans Who Tell the Truth
William Sloane Coffin was a clergyman and anti-war activist vehemently opposed the Vietnam War, painted by Robert Shetterly for Americans Who Tell the Truth
"The war against Iraq is as disastrous as it is unnecessary; perhaps in terms of its wisdom, purpose and motives, the worst war in American history... Our military men and women... were not called to defend America but rather to attack Iraq. They were not called to die for, but rather to kill for, their country. What more unpatriotic thing could we have asked of our sons and daughters...?"
- William Sloane Coffin -
CIA alum, ordained minister, Freedom Rider, Peace Corps trainer, anti-Vietnam war activist and long-time Yale Chaplain, William Sloane Coffin's experiences made him what he'll always be remembered for: an impassioned, vocal advocate for peace and social justice.
