Description: Based on an award-winning book entitled, Americans Who Tell the Truth, it features portraits by Robert Shetterley of 50 famous American "truth tellers," whose dignity, courage and search for truth have helped shape the America.
According to the book, "As we in the United States have the right to speak the truth, we also have the need to be told the truth. Throughout history, politicians, writers, environmentalists, political activists, and others have used this freedom to motivate and empower Americans to challenge the status quo. Artist Robert Shetterly’s fifty portraits, combined with thought-provoking quotes and concise biographies, offer a powerful view into what it means to be American, to hold American values, and to be part of a democratic society. Included are Frederick Douglass, Rachel Carson, Chief Joseph, Rosa Parks, Cesar Chavez, Mark Twain, Woody Guthrie, and more."
