Greetings, Robert.
Just got done with your Portraits and find them to be awesome and museum material for sure. Alot of true heroes,sure all of them are,some I know who they are.I too am a artist and draw, not portraits. We seem to have the same kinda road in life.I would be honored to be a part of your Americans Who Tell the Truth. A story done on me was A Accidental Activist by Paul Peters of the Independent Missoula.I have been a voice to save and stop exposure to something that kills you.Tremolite asbestos and Libby Mt kills you.

Thank you for providing this inspiring collection of reverent people. It's good to see such honorable people in one place, for all to see and from whom all can gain hope by knowing who they are, and who we are as we reflect in our admiration of them.

Sadly, we must record that Utah Phillips has died this month in Nevada City, CA.

What a wonderful way to teach our young people about what America is supposed to be when it lives up to expectations of its founders, and about the value of truth, integrity, and the responsibility of citizenship. We, the people, have been derelict, to our shame, in holding the country that we love to the standards that were instilled in most of us.
That said, what about Aldo Leopold?

Joe Hill would be a good one too, for his songs as well as his words.

You're right. Joe Hill would be good.
But I've got Utah Phillips & Mother Jones & Woody Guthrie & others from the labor movement. If I keep doing this long enough, though, I'll add Joe Hill, too. |

Great portraits, Great selections, both yours and many commentators.
Here's mine: Adin Ballou (April 23, 1803 – August 5, 1890) was founder of the Hopedale Community in what is now Hopedale, Massachusetts, and a prominent 19th century exponent of pacifism, socialism and abolitionism. Through his long career as a Universalist, and then Unitarian minister, he tirelessly sought social reform through his radical Christian and socialist views.Of the Founding Fathers Ballou claims, “I honor them with all my heart for their devotion to right principles, for all the truly noble traits in their character, for their fidelity to their own highest light. But because I honor their love of liberty, must I honor their compromises with slavery?”

Given the fact that Gloria Steinem has confessed that with the aid of certain goverment agencies, she had started the feminist movement to destablize American families and generate more tax income. I would fully expect and hope given such a revelation, she would never be honored as an American that told the truth. Please don't take my word - research it!

Dear Edison, I suspect that your evidence is more propaganda than fact & is, in fact, absurd. Many of the people I have painted have had similar things said about them that were untrue simple to discredit their work.
Gloria Steinem would be a fine addition to the portraits. |

I met Fannie Lou Hamer at a reception in Holly Spring (Rust College, MS) in 1965 when I volunteered to teach at a summer skills programme. She was a very dignified and charismatic person. Everyone crowded around her to listen to her talk about civil rights as well as heer latest activities in the democratic party of MS.
