Elizabeth Sackler has never benefited from the sale of Oxycontin and is an important art philanthropist.

She founded the Feminist Art center at the Brooklyn Museum, and also, used her own wealth to buy sacred Hopi masks at an art auction in order to return the items to their true, rightful owners, the Hopi.

To paint the whole family with a broad brush would be not only unfair, but short-sighted.
