Americans Who Tell the Truth: Rivera Sun

Since 2002, Maine artist Robert Shetterly and Americans Who Tell the Truth have created and presented 280 portraits of Americans they describe as “Models of Courageous Citizenship.” Shetterly’s most recent portrait subject is Rivera Sun, activist and award-winning author of The Dandelion Insurrection and many other books, whose portrait was unveiled at the Bay School in Blue Hill on May 4. She was introduced by her dear friend and previous portrait subject, renowned activist, lawyer, and Penobscot Nation member Sherri Mitchell Weh’na Ha’mu Kwasset. You can listen to Rivera Sun’s inspiring talk on WERU on Tuesday, May 13, 5-5:30pm, and audio from the entire unveiling event here.
