A permanent exhibit on 
Sister Dorothy Stang.

The Peace Museum  honors Dayton-native Sister Dorothy Stang with an exhibit in the Dayton room. 
Sister Dorothy spent half her life in Brazil and the Amazon, starting in 1966. She joined the religious order of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in Cincinnati in 1948, and remained active in the order until her brutal killing on February 12, 2005. Her message was nonviolent throughout her life. She worked to save the Amazon from deforestation by lumberjacks, wealthy cattle ranchers, and soybean farmers. Brazil exports these products at growing costs to the earth's environment. Dorothy Stang led a movement of peasants for a sustainable use of the rain forest. The exhibit will remain as part of our permanent collection.
