Sherrill Hogen
Sherrill Hogen is a retired social worker and long-time political activist. Of major concern to her is the use of torture by anyone anywhere, as it dehumanizes both victim and perpetrator. The prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba crystalizes issues of the harm and injustice involved with war, when the powerful are addicted to the use of force and cannot see how they are destroying human and planetary life.
