Mother’s Day: A day for Peace
Posted by Justin Jeffre
Robert Greenwald’s film Mother’s Day for Peace features a reading of Julia Ward Howe’s Mother’s Day Proclamation. Mother’s Day was in its origin an antiwar day, an antiwar statement. Julia Ward Howe was sickened by what had happened during the Civil War. She created Mother’s Day as a call for women all over the world to come together and create ways of protesting war, of making a kind of alternate government that could finally do away with war as an acceptable way of solving conflict.
