Author

Peace Pilgrim (born Mildred Norman, July 18, 1908 - July 7, 1981) was an American peace activist renowned for her extraordinary pilgrimage for peace. Beginning in 1952, she walked across the United States nearly continuously for nearly three decades, covering over 25,000 miles to promote peace and nonviolence. A committed vegetarian, she advocated for simple living and authored the book "Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in the Cause of Peace." Her dedication to walking rather than driving, and her message of inner peace as the foundation for world peace, made her a legendary figure in the American peace movement. more
