What is Stonewalk ?
Stonewalk is a project of The Peace Abbey in Sherborn, Massachusetts.
Envisioned by peace activist Lewis Randa in 1999, the 33-day, 500-mile
inaugural walk of pulling a two-thousand pound granite memorial
stone to Washington, DC commenced. The hope was of seeing it placed
permanently in Arlington National Cemetery. Overwhelmed by worldwide
images of civilian massacre, Lewis commissioned a one-ton stone
inscribed with the words "Unknown Civilians Killed in War."
He traveled the eastern seaboard "waging peace" while
enlisting community members to join his efforts. Since then, Stonewalk
has turned into a worldwide endeavour, with the Memorial to Unknown
Civilians Killed in War, pulled from Dublin, Republic of Ireland
to Belfast, Northern Ireland and from Liverpool to Coventry, England,
where it was graciously received by the warm and generous people
at Coventry Cathedral at the site where the Nazi Blitz took place
in November 1940. In 2004, a second USA Stonewalk, co-sponsored
by Nobel Peace Prize nominee September 11 Families for Peaceful
Tomorrows, brought the memorial stone from Boston, MA to New York,
NY. |
