San Antonio PeaceCENTER
was awarded on the 12/11/2004
| This organization was selected for its incredible non-violent witness in the community. One of its first major efforts about ten years ago was arranging a gang summit, a major feat as the city political leaders were very apprehensive. Not only would local gang leaders be invited to the table but also leaders from other states working with gang and ex-gang members. Despite the fears, the summit was held and found successful. Over the succeeding years the homicide rate dropped and key leaders found other ways of achieving recognition and status in their community. Since that first summit the city holds an annual Peace Week each fall about the same time that is filled with a variety of events all over the community. Read more |
