Held In The Light

Norman Morrison's Sacrifice For Peace And His Family's Journey Of Healing

BY ANNE MORRISON WELSH AND JOYCE HOLLYDAY

Brief Description:
In 1965 Norman Morrison, a devout Quaker, immolated himself on the steps of the Pentagon as a protest against the Vietnam War. Anne Morrison Welsh recounts Norman's story as well as her own journey to find forgiveness, and recovery from life's wounds. While many were appalled by Morrison's action, others were deeply affected - among them, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, who later described Morrison's death as one of the critical turning points in his life. Decades later, on a pilgrimage to Vietnam, Anne and her children completed a circle that brought them to terms, in a new way, with the mystery and meaning of that day in 1965.
