In this episode of A Matter of Conscience, you’ll hear how churches and chains made an anti-war splash in 1968. Nine young men announced their resignation from the military by chaining themselves to church clergy during a 48-hour service to protest the Vietnam War. In their words: "They could not be a part of or support the oppressive and dehumanizing activities of the American military machine." We'll hear from two of the Nine for Peace participants: Keith Mather and Oliver Hirsch. You'll also hear about two other collective actions taken around the same time: the Fort Hood 3 and the Fort Hood 43.
