Peddling the Truth
Artist Robert Shetterly from Maine has painted over 68 portraits of "Americans Who Tell the Truth."
According to Rob's website, he 'intends to remind people of the dignity, courage and importance of some of America's truth tellers…" The portraits, along with short bios, are available on his website. A collection of the first 50 portraits are assembled in a book with a downloadable school curriculum.
One of more recent portraits is of Van Jones from the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights. The Ella Baker Center recently launched the Green For All campaign focused on green-collar job training in order to lift 250,000 people out of poverty across the country.
I encourage everyone to check out both the portraits and the Green For All campaign.
