THANK YOU FOR VISITING
--- Website under construction ---
Establishing: The Global Peace Academy (Atlanta) will honor Dr. Martin Luther King’s peace legacy and birthplace, plus build “The Gandhi-King Global Peace Connection.” This major peace project is one of 7 created by Atlanta: City of Peace, Inc. We invite and welcome YOU to participate as an “Official Founder” (regardless of where on Earth you live).
Planning and building an entire institution of higher learning can be a daunting task for some... especially if they are not willing to “Be the Change” and “Be the Dream!” However consider the amazing story of Olin College in Needham, Massachusetts. The ‘dream’ was hatched in 1998 and in 2002 they opened their doors thanks to ONE funding grant; a $460 MILLION grant from the F.W. Olin Foundation!
Atlanta is well-positioned to be “HOME” of the (future) Global Peace Academy. The “seed” of our goal for: The Global Peace Academy (ATL) was planted September 11, 2006; held in observance of the exact 100th Anniversary Birth-date of the Contemporary Peace Movement and Gandhi’s first ever peace-action (09/11/1906), plus the 50th Anniversary-year of Dr. Martin Luther King’s first ever peace-action… February 21, 1956; Dr. King was indicted with other figures in the Montgomery bus boycott.
NOTE: We have invited Honorable U.S. Congressman John Lewis to become “Chief Facilitator” and His Holiness, the Dalai Lama to be Honorary Chair of the Global Peace Academy (ATL) Planning Committee (their decisions are pending). We have also invited Dr. Marshall Rosenberg and Mr. Ron Clark to be Co-Chairs of our planning committee (their decisions also pending). Mr. Clark is an award-winning teacher whose methods and programs are established in schools around the world. In 2000 he was named Disney's American Teacher of the Year and he's been invited to the White House on three separate occasions to be honored by the President. Dr. Rosenberg is an internationally respected teacher in the field of non-violent communications. He founded the nonprofit training and peacemaking organization called: The Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC).
GREAT NEWS: We have identified the IDEAL piece of property for the future location of both: The Global Peace Academy (ATL) and The Global Peace Museum (ATL). Fort McPherson is in south Atlanta is being decommissioned. It is a 488-acre military facility and is now viewed as a significant redevelopment opportunity for the entire region. The McPherson Planning Local Redevelopment Authority was established to lead the reuse planning process. Success with our nonprofit’s two major projects will transform Fort McPherson into a global destination. We have invited Mr. Edward Uhlir (of Chicago's Millennium Park fame) to create our nonprofit's visionary master schematic for how Ft. McPherson can be transformed into the new site for these two transformative global peace projects (his decision is pending). NOTE: Mr. Uhlir was instrumental in raising ~$500 Million to develop Chicago’s Millennium Park! The Global Peace Academy and The Global Peace Museum need to be developed in Atlanta, what is fast-becoming known as: The Global Peace Cultivation District!
WE believe that millions and hundreds of millions of people worldwide already look at Atlanta as a city of peace because Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born there and is one of Earth's most respected and accomplished Nobel Peace Prize Laureates. Dr. King is also the most globally productive peace movement protégé of Gandhi: Man of the Millennium (Years 1000-2000). Atlanta: City of Peace, Inc. (ACP) will formalize Atlanta as a global capital and beacon of peace.
Peacemakers from around the Earth are also invited to help with plans to create The Global Peace Concert, The Global Peace Flight, The Global Peace Garden, The Global Peace Museum, The Global Peace Tower and The Global Peace Walk.
