Why 40 Days of PEACE
For 40 days, beginning with the Martin Luther King Holiday in 2008, national and local partners, individuals, families, communities, schools, communities of faith, community organizations and many others will focus on helping to start building a peaceful community. The 40 days represents the 40th Anniversary of Dr. King's death and the start of allowing people to learn over 40 days, anyone can begin to build a more peaceful community. Make a difference in your own life and in the lives of others by acting peacefully during this period.
