Biography
Hogan was one of the Catonsville Nine, a group of Catholic activists whose 1968 draft-records action became a defining moment in Vietnam-era resistance. On May 17, 1968, the group removed 378 files from the draft board office in Catonsville, burned them with homemade napalm in the parking lot, and waited to be arrested.
Tried in federal court that October, Hogan was convicted of destroying government property and interfering with the Selective Service system and was sentenced to two years in prison.
