Creating a path to peace….one brick at a time.
The Peace Pathway
“What in America makes it so easy for the recruiting officer, and so hard for the pacifist? My answer is because the feelings of the people are with the recruiting officer. Because the process by which we are educated in the home, in the church, in the school, in the community at large result in attitudes favorable to war. We are living in a society based too largely on a militaristic foundation. The peace loving emotions of the people have not been cultivated. If we want peace we must educate people to want peace. We must replace attitudes favorable to war with attitudes opposed to war.”
— Spark M. Matsunaga
The Peace Pathway is a brick-lined walkway that begins at the entrance gate of Storybook Theatre’s Peace Garden and circles the statue of Sparky. Approximately 1,000 bricks are needed to complete the pathway. Each brick is a permanent part of the garden, creating a living memorial that celebrates peace, community, and the power of education.
