Now his daughter, Jane Fonda, has just revived the group starting with a list of over 800 actors, film makers, music artists. Thank you, Jane!!

Evolution and Devolution of Mankind
Inspired by: Trump Calls Undocumented Immigrants ‘Animals and Not Human’ Being human is more than DNA. It is a high mixture of intelligence, kindness, empathy, truthfulness and the ability to love.
