| Summary |
On May 17, 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War, nine men and women entered a Selective Service office outside Baltimore. They removed military draft records, took them outside, and set them afire with napalm. The Catholic activists involved in this protest against the war included Daniel and Philip Berrigan; all were found guilt of destroying government property and sentenced to three years in jail. The Berrigans and their colleagues went on to lives spent struggling against war, poverty, and injustice. The trial of The Catonsville Nine became a powerful expression of the conflicts between conscience and conduct, power and justice, law and morality. |
