Peace Makes GREAT Front-Page News
Last Wednesday, my local paper’s lead story was a profile of two long-time peace activists: Frances Crowe, age 94, and Arky Markham, 98. I’ve known them both for decades; you can’t be involved in peace and social justice issues in our area for long without encountering them. I saw both of them at the peace demonstration last Monday, in fact.
31 years ago, when I was actively freelancing for this same paper, I published an interview with a different pair of legendary local peace activists, and was thrilled when the paper ran it on the front page.
Of course, these four wonderful people are just the tiniest fraction of people doing good work for peace in our neighborhood and around the world.
Let’s tell our newspapers we want more stories like that on the front page :-).
