MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH
WHAT IS A PEACE POLE?
A Peace Pole is a monument displaying "May Peace Prevail On Earth" in multiple languages.
A decade after a giant fireball exploded over Hiroshima, in August 1945, a Japanese spiritual teacher, philosopher and poet Masahisa Goi began spreading the message of peace on earth. Peace gatherings grew and supporters handed out fliers carrying Goi's simple message. Today more than 250,000 peace poles exist in places as remote as the Canadian Arctic, the pyramids of Giza, Europe and South America, as well as, the Rotary International Headquarters, in Evanston, Ill. 100 peace poles we erected in 100 schools, leading up to the 100th anniversary of Rotary in Australia by the Rotary Club of Canberra Burley Griffin.
Some Peace Poles include student art, the work of Indigenous artists, homemade poles, professionally crafted poles from stone, metal, wood and ceramic. While some sit in homes only 1 foot tall on a desk or in a corner. Most are 6' to 8' tall, made of vinyl plastic, like the one pictured here, permanently embedded in the ground with decorative cover and shrubbery.
There are 4 basic steps for those interested in dedicating a Peace Pole:
1. Select a location: School or other public place (after getting permission).
2. Choose the languages you wish to feature.
3. Order or make your Peace Pole.
4. Hold a dedication ceremony. Invite political & religious dignitaries, clubs and neighbors.
The Rotary Club of West Chester/Liberty will dedicate a Peace Pole at the National VOA Museum of Broadcasting, in the first half of 2026. Our goal is to design a pole which reflects the inspiration behind the building of the Voice of America Bethany Station at the advent of WWII and to enable the West Chester/Liberty Peace Pole to "connect" to other peace poles, via our brother/sisterhood of Rotary Clubs, around the world.
Thank you for your support.
