Marian Anderson on Peace

Old world map 1689

 
Marian Anderson (1897-1993) was one of the most celebration African-American singers of the twentieth Century and worked for many years as a delegate to the United Nations Human Rights Committee. 
Marion Anderson 1920
I love this quote by her:  
 
 No matter how big a nation is, it is no stronger that its weakest people, and as long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you might otherwise. 
 
Take a look at the old world map. What has really changed since its publication in 1689? We war, we struggle, we make peace, we war and struggle again. Is this really the inevitable cycle of life or is there a way to reverse the struggle permanently? I hope the latter is true.

Special Launch Event Thursday, July 12, 2012

We launched the 2012 BlogBlast4Peace season with a trip to the shore (real and virtual). I am already on the Atlantic. If you were here with us July 12 at sunset, even in spirit, then you were a part of the 2012 launch for BlogBlast4Peace. I can think of no better way to announce our November 4th campaign than a designated time for all to bring the same thoughts and vibes to the table....er...ocean. Then it won't be just me making an announcement. It will be all of us. I like it!
Facebook Event page is here. It was a great success. Thank you. Let the peace begin.
