  • The D.C. Nine were nine men and women, including seven who were priests and nuns, who engaged in a daytime protest against the Dow Chemical Company and its production of napalm and were charged with malicious destruction of property and unlawful entry. This group was part new generation of Catholic activists who undertook demonstrations in the late 1960s, such as the Catonsville Nine, that pushed the limits of Nonviolent resistance. The nine were: * Rev. Robert T. Begin, 30, a priest from Cleveland, Ohio * Rev. Dennis J. Maloney, 28, a priest from Detroit, Michigan * Sister Joann Malone, 28, a Catholic schoolteacher from St. Louis, Missouri * Michael Slaski, 20, of Detroit, Michigian * Rev. Bernard Meyer, 31, a priest of Cleveland, Ohio * Rev. Arthur G. Melville, 36, a former priest of San Francisco, California * Catherine Melville, 32, a former nun, of Girard, Ohio * Rev. Joseph F. O’Rourke, 30, a Jesuit in formation, of Woodstock, Maryland * Rev. Michael R. Dougherty, 34, former U.S. Army paratrooper, of Hamburg, New York The trial was a chaotic public spectacle, and all defendants were sentenced, although eventually only Catherine Melville and the Rev. Bernard Meyer did time. In the aftermath, most left the church, and Dow Chemical stopped supplying napalm to the US military in 1969. (en)
