Her birthdate and name she never told as she felt her message was so much more important..
Well.. this is a tribute to a very inspring woman, that walked more then 25000 miles on foot from 1953 to 1981... with nothing but her clothes on her back and in her blue tunic her only possessions ..........
This is her message.....
"This is the way of peace:
Overcome evil with good,
and falsehood with truth,
and hatred with love."
....Peace Pilgrim
1908 -1981

A weekend celebration of 'Peace through Art and Music', in honor of what would have been Peace Pilgrim's 101st. Birthday will be held in her home town of Egg Harbor, New Jersey on July 17-19, 2009. The events will include, within others, a concert with folksinger Jody Kessler, a two-mile inter-generational Walk for Peace and historical tour to Peace Pilgrim's childhood home, hosted by Peace Pilgrim's sister Helene Young, and an old-fashioned pot-luck community picnic. We invite you to be with us as we celebrate Peace Pilgrim and how the pilgrimage continues.
