We talk with Larry Strober about why Peace Poles still matter in a world full of conflict and how Rotary can turn a simple public marker into real peacebuilding momentum. We trace the movement back to Hiroshima in 1955, then follow its evolution into the Oregon Peace Trail, the Peace Game, and a bold moonshot for peace by 2030.
• the origin story of “May Peace Prevail On Earth” and why 1955 matters
• how Rotary Peace Poles spread worldwide and why the project is bigger than Rotary
• using QR codes to make Peace Poles interactive and teach Rotary’s Four-Way Test
• why Peace Poles work as personal reminders and community gathering points
• the Oregon Peace Trail plan and how peace projects can attract younger members
• the Peace Game framework and the seven peace actions that build peacebuilders
• the 2030 moonshot and the idea of peace zones anchored by Peace Poles
• how Rotary leadership structure can slow peace work and how peace builder clubs help
• why peace supports every other Rotary area of focus including polio eradication
