Dr. Charlie Clements, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, talks with Jerry Fowler about Waitstill and Martha Sharp. On June 13th, 2006, the Sharps will have their names engraved in the Garden of the Righteous at Yad Vashem, where only one other American, Varian Fry, has been honored. The couple risked their lives to save refugees fleeing Nazi Germany and helped found what is today called the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, dedicated to protecting human rights and promoting social justice.
