Peace Garden celebrates Gandhi
The Peace Garden at Fresno State has 100 peace flags on display in honor of Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday and the 20th anniversary of the garden.
At 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 1, 2010 the Peace Garden will hold a concert and candlelight vigil.
At 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 2, 2010 the garden will hold a ceremony with garlanding of the Gandhi statue, speeches and a reenactment of Gandhi’s Salt March in 1930 that set India on the path to independence from British rule.
The flags in the garden were decorated on Mediator Appreciation Day in May by 900 peer mediators – grade school children from the Fresno, Clovis, Central, Sanger and Dinuba Unified School districts and Chowchilla, with phrases encouraging communities to embrace peace.
