Traveling Exhibit
"I Have No Right To Be Silent", The Human Rights Legacy of the Rabbi Marshall T. Meyer is a traveling exhibit commemorating the social activism and human rights work of Rabbi Marshall Meyer. Rabbi Marshall Meyer was an ordinary man whose extraordinary convictions, faith, and impetuous personality impelled him to become one of the most important human rights activists during Argentina's Dirty War (1976–1983).
