    About the Peace Flag. _____________ The Pro Concordia Labor flag – whose rich symbolism is described opposite this page - was designed in 1897 by Countess Cora di Brazza. Having worked for the Red Cross shortly before she designed the flag, di Brazza appre- ciated the power of visual symbols and recognized that peace workers lacked a single image that unified their work. Aware of an earlier idea for a peace flag that incorporated pre-existing national flags proposed in 1891 by Henry Pettit, di Brazza felt that the earlier design was inadequate. Pettit’s design was simply to place a white border around a given nation’s flag and to add the word “Peace.” But this approach resulted in as many peace flags as there were national flags. Needed, however, was a single universal symbol of peace that transcended na- tional identity and symbolically communicated the cosmopolitan values inher- ent in peace-work. Accordingly, di Brazza designed the Pro Concordia Labor (“I work for Peace”) flag. The colors of yellow, purple and white were chosen because no nation’s flag had these colors, making it impossible for the specta- tor to confuse the Pro Concordia Labor flag with any pre-existing national flag. Freed from this potential confusion, the spectator who beholds the distinctive yellow, purple and white banner, becomes prepared to associate the colorful ob- ject with the values that motivate international and cosmopolitan work, namely “the cementing of the loving bonds of universal brotherhood without respect to creed, nationality or color” - values which were considered to be expressive of “true patriotism.” ThePro Concordia Labor flag is a visual representation of the specific values inherent in “true patriotism” that undergird peace-work.

Therefore it w ill only he my official duty to send a. cable concerning your departure as soon as you set your feet on the steamer.* I was familiar with the fortuitous way of Oriental expressions, so I saw that this was a polite way of saying: "We w ill not let you go!" Hence I deferred it to a more opportune time. - By the narration of this story, I mean that whenever I give permission to the Pilgrims to depart for their respective coun­ tries, 1 mean this: Go forth arid diffuse the Fragrances of Brotherhood and spiritual relationship. Of course it is an undeniable truth that one second in this radiant spot is equal to one thousand years; but it is also equally true that., one second spent in teaching the Cause of God i s g r ea t ér than one thousand years .. Whosoever arises to teach the ~ Cause of God, k ills nine birds with one stone. First: Proclamation of the Glad-tidings of the Kingdom of-.Ahha. Second: Service to the Thres­ hold of the Almighty, Third: His spiritual presence in this Court . Fourth: His perfection under the shade of the Standard of Truth. Fifth: The descent of the Bestovfals of God upon him. Sixth: Bringing still nearer the age of fraternity and the dawn of Millenium. Seventh:Winning the divine approval of the Supreme Concourse . Eighth: The spiritual il­ lumination of the hearts of humanity. Ninth: The education of the chil­ dren of the race in the moral precepts of Baha’o’llah - -Spiritual presence does not depend upon the presence in body or absence from this Holy Land.

  • The Story of the Stars & Stripes
    The Story of the Stars & Stripes By the US Marine Corps The story of the origin of our national flag parallels the story of the origin of our country. As our country received its birthright from the peoples of many lands who were gathered on these shores to found a new nation, so did the pattern of the Stars and Stripes rise from several origins back in the mists of antiquity to become emblazoned on the standards of our infant Republic. The star is a symbol of the heavens and the divine goal to which man has aspired from time immemorial; the stripe is symbolic of the rays of light emanating from the sun. Both themes have long been represented on the standards of nations, from the banners of the astral worshippers of ancient Egypt and Babylon to the 12-starred flag of the Spanish Conquistadors under Cortez. Continuing in favor, they spread to the striped standards of Holland and the West Indian Company in the 17th century and to the present patterns of stars and stripes on the flags of several nations of Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The first flags adopted by our Colonial forefathers were symbolic of their struggles with the wilderness of a new land. Beavers, pine trees, rattlesnakes, anchors, and various like insignia with mottoes such as “Hope”, “Liberty”, “Appeal to Heaven” or “Don’t Tread on Me” were affixed to the different banners of Colonial America. The first flag of the colonists to have any resemblance to the present Stars and Stripes was the Grand Union flag, sometimes referred to as the “Congress Colors”.

  • Civic Center Plaza Flagpoles Historical Background
    Civic Center Plaza Flagpoles Historical Background Preceeding Events The flagpoles were installed during a period of great nationalism, especially in San Francisco. The Charter of the United Nations was signed in 1945 in the War Memorial Hall Building (Herbst Theatre); while the War Memorial Opera House, and other local venues were host to the two-month-long gathering of global unity. There were some 3500 delegation attendees from 50 nations, and more than 2500 press, radio and newsreel representatives also in attendance. (United Nations Plaza was dedicated later, in 1975, on the east side of the plaza as the symbolic leagcy of that event.) World War II was still in the minds of many, but a more recent event was the statehood of both Alaska and Hawaii during 1959, which brought thoughts of the newly designed flag to the fore, especially to school children who saluted the flag each morning. With two new stars, it looked different. And finally, John F. Kennedy was elected preident in November 1960; he was the youngest president ever elected bringing a new optimism and energy to the country. The Pavilion of American Flags Although all of the flagpoles seen today were in the original design, there does not seem to have been a specific theme for what the many staffs would display. The central two parallel rows containing a total of 18 flagpoles, known as The Pavilion of American Flags, flank the east-facing view of the Civic Center Plaza from the mayor’s office. An idea was presented that would feature flags which played an important role in the nation’s history.

  • Here.” Countess Di Brazzà Not Only Agreed with This, She Created a Personal Tool to Assist the Individual in Undertaking This Personal Peace Work
    About the Peace Flag ____________________ The Pro Concordia Labor flag – the rich symbolism of which is described opposite this page – was designed in 1897 by Countess Cora di Brazzà (1862- 1944). Pro Concordia Labor means “I work for Peace” or even more accu- rately, “I work for Harmony.” The colors of yellow, purple and white were chosen because no nation’s flag used this color combination, making it im- possible to confuse the flag with another nation’s flag. The flag is a standard for cosmopolitan values – “the cementing of the loving bonds of universal brotherhood without respect to creed, nationality or color.” E.C. (Eugene Clarence) Warriner (1866-1945), the 4th President of Central Michigan University (CMU) from 1918-1939, was actively involved in the 19th Century Peace Movement to which the Pro Concordia Labor flag is connected. On October 28, 1910, when he was Superintendent of Saginaw Public Schools, Warriner organized the Michigan branch of the American School Peace League (ASPL). Charles Grawn, CMU’s 3rd president, served as Vice President of the ASPL. The ASPL was a national network of public school teachers, administrators and students who were committed to education about the ‘Peace through Law’ movement and to the development of law to eliminate armed conflict. The ASPL sponsored national essay competitions, distributed peace education curricula, and supplied materials for the celebration of Peace Day, May 18, which was recognized because it was the day on which the 1899 Hague Peace Conference opened. Throughout WW1 and afterwards, and as President of CMU, E.C. Warriner remained actively involved in the Peace Movement.
