Peace Heroes and War Zeros (SOAPBOX PODCAST JULY 30, 2017)

July 30, 2017 Guest: Michael Knox Topic: Peace Heroes This week, Cindy interviews Michael Knox, founder of the US Peace Memorial Michael D. Knox chairs the US Peace Memorial Foundation which directs a nationwide effort to honor Americans who stand for peace by publishing the US Peace Registry , awarding an annual Peace Prize , and planning for the US Peace Memorial as a national monument in Washington, DC. Knox believes that "these educational projects help move the United States toward a culture of peace, as we recognize the thoughtful and courageous Americans who have taken a public stand against one or more U.S. wars or who have devoted their time, energy, and other resources to finding peaceful solutions to international conflicts. We celebrate these role models to inspire other Americans to speak out against war and to work for peace.” See “ World Peace: A First Step ” at www.uspeacememorial.org/ WorldPeace.htm ********
