Artist Robert Shetterly is renowned for his series of portrait paintings titled Americans Who Tell The Truth, which depicts 265 activists (including WBW Board President Kathy Kelly & WBW Executive Director David Swanson!) who are advocating for justice. Each portrait is a portal into American history, a story of courage and persistence that reminds us that the power of democracy lies in the determined actions of the people.
Taken together, the portraits demonstrate how change requires a community; meanwhile, each individual portrait is a testament to the fact that through persistence, each of us has the power to make a difference. In this webinar, Robert shows images and tells stories about many of our most persuasive peace makers whom he has painted. Learn more at https://americanswhotellthetruth.org/
