Golden Gate Bridge Peace Walk
10th Anniversary Mothers Day Peace Walk on Golden Gate Bridge!
Mother’s Day Proclamation: Julia Ward Howe Boston 1870
Arise, then, women of this day! Arise all women who have hearts, whether your baptism be of water or of tears! Say firmly: “We will not have questions decided by irrelevant agencies. Our husbands shall not come to us reeking of carnage for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy, and patience. We women of one country will be too tender to those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.”
