Peace Symbol's Birthday

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 23:07:00 +0000

The Peace symbol made its first public appearance April 4,1958 in a DAC march in Britain. There are many stories of how, when, and where and who created this symbol that means a lot of things from peace to love and a lot in between. But lets focus on the two stories about the birthday of the peace symbol and how it came to be so well known today. There is one story that tells us of a young woman who was a leader in a movement Direct Action Commitee Against Nuclear War (DAC). She wanted something to represent the movement and not the group. She wanted a symbol, a flag to fly, so when people saw it they would know there is a movement against nuclear war. So she approached her father with the idea and ask if he could help. Her father worked for the rail road and he told her he could use semaphore flag symbols to make her something to represent the movement. He told her that semaphore flags are used as a system for conveying information at a distance by means of visual signal with hand-held flags. So to represent the N in nuclear, the flags are held at forty-five degrees at your side. And to represent the D for disarmament, the flags one over your head and the other pointing at the floor. He used old steel from the train yard to construct what was said to be the first peace sign. Now durning the nineteen fifties, the sign wasn't call a peace symbol. That came along later. I couldn't find a picture of the symbol made by her father and her name isn't in any writings I could find. So this is one story of the Peace sign and it's birth...

This story start out also in Britain. But this time it is a story about a man. An artist by the name Gerald Holtom. A graduate of the Royal College of Arts. In 1958, Geralddrew a circle with three lines inside, intending the design to be a symbol for the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War (DAC). Gerald Holtom finished his design on February 21, 1958. The symbol made its first public apperance April 4, 1958 at a DAC march. The symbol became the emblem for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND). The symbol became synonymous with nuclear disamament. Gerald Holtom is widely credited with the design of the nuclear disarmament symbol. Then in the nineteen sixties (1960) the symbol made its was to the United States where it was adopted to represent the peace movement. After fifty, yes the big 50 years, the symbol is still used by peace activists today. Born Febrary 21, 1958, the anti-nuclear disarmament symbol's birthday is approaching us soon. A symbol used world wide, a symbol of peace, nuclear disarmament freedom. This symbol really does represent freedom, because anyone can use it. There is no copywrite on it, and you don't have to pay or ask permission to use it.
The Peace Symbol of today can be found on tee shirt, pants and other apparel. There are earrings, belt buckles and posters. The symbol has been in movies and broadway plays. I could say that the peace symbol has another symbol used also to signal peace. It's two fingers, somethings call rabbit ear, we hold them up to mean peace and love. This comes from the sixies movement. There is nothing I could find to tell whether Holtom spoke about the name change the Americans gave his symbol. But I guess you could say that the symbol is well taken care of with peace and love. There is no replacement, there is only one!

History, we can say has come full circle, depending on ones point of view. The symbol has serve us well. Everyone used it. I say it was the one constant from birth til today that held fast. Took one stance and never wavered. We say there is a good and an evil. The symbol alway stood for peace once adopted. Whether a good or bad person wore the sign, it represented peace. It didn't matter who you was or the color of your skin, your background or anything that tears us apart as Americans. The peace symbol is our one constant we all agree with. In war or peace, in good times or bad, The Peace Symbol Lives!

The young woman didn't want fame, she only wanted the movement to work and let the finger point not at her but a symbol that would serve to make people aware there is an anti-nuclear movement for disarmament. They both was in a movement for the same thing, and they both had a story to tell. It was printed by one of Holtom's friend that Holtom told him that the design was made when he was feeling down and he drew a stickman with its arms down at forty-five degrees to represent a man waiting to be shot. Both stories make sense, but wish is the true story.

In The NAME Of...

What's in a name? There are names we consider bad because someone assigned it did bad things. Then there are names some consider bad when other consider them good for whatever the reason. Take for instance, Hit man. This is someone who kills people, but we had a boxer used hit man as part of his name in the ring. He didn't kill anyone in the ring, but we all understood what he was to do in the ring. He made the name a good one. So for someone to have a name like Hitler, there is no reason for them to be ashamed of the name and who had it before or after the person who made the name well known for good or bad. It's your name and to hide it, is to hide who you are. And for someone who wants to be the president of our country for all people, making your name something to hide in the closet and not proudly making it a part of your speeches is away of saying, I'm not proud of my name because another man made my name one that people dislike and to remind them of my name is to remind them of that man and thus turn the people away from he who would like to be president. Don't get upset now, it just a peace rumble.

History or Fate

What will our fate be when choosing a president to make history instead of choosing a president who can run the country. What is more important? Someone who is popolar for bringing out the cheer in you for the moment or someone who will make the cheer last longer then just for the moment. Everyone wants something different from the last eight years, but will anything do. Are we willing to take what sounds good without anything to support what is said. Making history for today is not what is going to help us or our children in the future. But will it be okay? Just a Peace Rumble

What's the message, I was cheering!

Who is the winner? Aren't the people suppose to be the ones who win? The talk is all about the people until the people disagree with those who is chosen. Everything and all is promised but never received. Everyone loves a winner. You win and the people will follow. Winning is the key to the success of those who wants to be President. Nothing is wrong with being a winner. But it is how you win that will tell a tale of who you really are. Secrets from the past if kept, will help those who wants to be president. People hear a good talk and is ready to follow. But the end of the rain bow is paved with promises to be kept to those who help those who will one day be President. Money works in evil ways. Don't get caught up in the crowd cheering before you know the message. Just a Peace Rumble.

The Noisy Peace

There is a cheer in the wind. A tear from the past. A hope for the future. All the right things said and done by those who shall be one day the President. What are the facts? Should the wind feed the crowd? Should the past dictate the future? Have we heard the right things that will save us from fear? Awake and who will be the next to promise dreams built on the past. It's okay. Just a Peace Rumble.
