The Peace Hour

Mission Statement

The Decade of Nonviolence-Houston will promote Houston area participation in the United Nation’s "Decade for a Culture of Peace and Nonviolence for the Children of the World" in order to reduce the many forms of violence that children suffer. We will encourage activities by individuals and organizations that impart the spirit of nonviolence and that cultivate the skills to achieve it.

The UN's International Day for Peace - Friday, September 21 was established by a United Nations resolution in 1981.  Last year more than 3,500 events took place in 200 countries to promote A Culture of Peace.  Locally, the Decade of Nonviolence-Houston, in conjunction with Rothko Chapel and the United Nations Association Chapter of Houston, is sponsoring a local commemoration of the day.  City Council member Ada Edwards will read a City of Houston proclamation.  In addition, there will be speakers from the consular corps and various faith leaders.  The gathering space will be decorated with eight large, free-standing murals created by children, plus the United Nations flag.  10:00-11:30 a.m. in the Ray Courtyard at the Rice Memorial Student Center in front of the Rice Memorial Chapel.  The public is invited.
