This event took place on the evening of 28th April, 2018 at Mother Bethel A.M.E. Church
We celebrate and commemorate the lives of these great men who fought for peace in the world: not only negative peace or the absence of conflict, but positive peace, the presence of justice. Join us as we struggle for a future without war.
