Boundary Stones
The D.C. Nine: The Catholics Who Became Convicts to Stop the Vietnam War
Special | 6m 18s
The nuns and priests who targeted Dow Chemical to fight the Vietnam War.
On March 22, 1969, a group made up mostly of Catholic priests, nuns and seminarians broke into the Washington office of Dow Chemical Company, a company then synonymous with the production of napalm. What the activists did next — and the criminal trial that followed — created a firestorm of controversy, raising questions about the Church, the war effort, and the limits of non-violent protest.
