Description
A resident stops for me and waves a peace flag at the French Market in the French Quarter of New Orleans, LA. The participant was heading down to Jackson Square to take part in a congregation gathered the day of the announcement of the newly elected present of the United States Joe Biden.....
The symbol that the emoji depicts is a universally recognizable symbol for peace designed in 1958 by Gerald Holtom for the British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. ... Since its creation, the peace symbol has seen extensive use as part of protests against nuclear proliferation as well as war and violence more generally.
Born in 1951 I associate the peace symbol from the 60's as a teenager. The Woodstock Music Festival began on August 15, 1969, as half a million people waited on a dairy farm in Bethel, New York, for the three-day music festival
As a lifelong creative artist, photographer I will not be censored or silenced to express myself either by art or photography and my expression of thought for Peace, may Peace prevail across America and the World.
