PBA Focuses on Reconciliation as a Problem of Peace for Its Observance of the U.N./State of Hawaii International Peace Day 2024
“How do individuals, families, communities, ethnic groups and nations, tribes and factions and clans, repair the harm done to them following periods of great conflict?” Mr. Josh Hernandez Morse asked in the preamble to his lecture titled “On Reconciliation: a Problem of Peace In Human Societies.” “How do they heal?”
The question represented the start of the day’s inquiry on Friday, September 20. “September 21st is actually the day designated by the United Nations and State of Hawaii as the International Day of Peace,” said Mr. Josh, “and years ago, students from PBA had a hand in encouraging the Hawaii State Legislature to adopt the day for formal recognition. We observed it on Friday the 20th, of course, because school was in session.”
