It’s been fifty-five years since nine African-American teenagers, better known as the “Little Rock Nine,” performed an act that fractured the foundation of the entire nation: they walked into an all-white high school.

In 1982 the United Nations marked one day out of the year as a day for individuals, communities, nations and governments to promote peace around the globe. As stated on the website internationaldayofpeace.org, the UN declares that “Peace Day should be devoted to commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples…This day will serve as a reminder to all peoples that our organization, with all its limitations, is a living instrument in the service of peace and should serve all of us here within the organization as a constantly pealing bell reminding us that our permanent commitment, above all interests or differences of any kind, is to peace.”
