The Power of People

Taking Action for Peace

The time has come for the ordinary people, those who have been tossed about on the waves of war and violence in the twentieth century, to take the leading role in history.

The people pictured here have worked for peace in their communities and in the world. All of them have made and are making a real difference in the world. There are millions more like them, working toward a peaceful world.

You too can help to create a culture of peace.
