Daniel Berrigan
American Catholic priest, peace activist, and poet (1921–2016)
Daniel Joseph Berrigan, S.J. (May 9, 1921 – April 30, 2016), was an American Jesuit priest, anti-war activist, and poet.[1] He moved to Syracuse, New York at age five. He was known for protesting against the Vietnam War during the 1970s. It also landed him on the FBI's "most wanted list", on the cover of TIME magazine,[2] and in prison.[3] In 1980, he founded the Plowshares Movement, an anti-nuclear protest group, that put him back into the national spotlight.[4]
