By Jane Wells | Founder and President, 3 Generations
If we don’t have a vision of a better future can we really create one? Leaders as diverse as The Dalai Lama and Martin Luther King have shown us the need for vision to build a path to lasting peace and progress.
Yet since the Holocaust and United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, civil society has promised “never again” and still genocide and appalling atrocities have continued into the 21st century.
3 Generations has begun collecting the visions of eminent social, cultural and spiritual leaders and activists to set in motion the creation of a collective vision of a world free of atrocity. We expect to premiere these videos in 2011. These leaders include PETER GABRIEL, musician, activist and co-founder of the human rights organization WITNESS; BRIAN STEIDLE, former Marine Corps Captain and the author of The Devil Came on Horseback: Bearing Witness to the Genocide in Darfur; CAROLYN FORCHE, award winning poet and human rights activist; KATHY FRESTON, NY Times best-selling author; JERRY FOWLER, senior analyst for the Open Society Policy Center and Founding Director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum; JOHN PRENDERGAST, Co-Founder of the ENOUGH Project; DR STEPHEN SMITH, Executive Director of the USC Shoah Foundation.
