While the PEACE TALKS RADIO series goes out of its way to feature the

less-heralded peace workers throughout history and in our world today, the

personalities who rise to the top of world consciousness often do so for

very good and powerful reasons that deserve more focused attention. On

this program, we’ve gathered 6 whose stories in the 20th Century, and a

couple whose stories have continued into the 21st century, who seem linked

in many ways – and each has left succeeding generations inspiration to

build on. Asked to name peace leaders, these are the names most people

on the street would come up with – the Dalai Lama, Martin Luther King,

Cesar Chavez & Dolores Huerta, Nelson Mandela and Mohandas K. Gandhi. The

program includes some inspiration from each to create one big, always

useful, dose of peace thought for us to take in.
