Peace Group Hauls War Memorial
Across State
Families Of Sept. 11 Victims To End Walk In New York
BOSTON -- A peace group that includes relatives of Sept.
11, 2001, victims is dragging a 1,400-pound granite memorial
to civilians killed in war from Boston to New York, the sites
of the Democrat and Republican conventions.
About a dozen people began pulling a wagon with the memorial
from Copley Square to Brookline Wednesday morning, the first
leg of the trip.
The walk is sponsored by September 11 Families for Peaceful
Tomorrows.
Terry Rockefeller, whose sister died in the attack on the
World Trade Centers, was in the group today. She says she
wants to send a message that fighting terrorism with war instead
of conflict resolution will only lead to the suffering of
more families.
