Over 100 people gathered to mark the re-dedication of the “Peace Monument,” which contains soil brought from nearly 150 countries and is a symbolic representation of the oneness of humanity and the global cooperation needed to achieve lasting peace. The monument was built by the Baha’i International Community and the Baha'i Community of Brazil in 1992 for the 1992 Earth Summit.
