Love, Loss and Longing

In 2004, the U.S. government drastically tightened its
restrictions on travel by Cuban-Americans to Cuba to visit relatives. this
exhibit, which has been seen in 20 cities across the United States,
recounts in poignant detail, with first-person accounts and photographs,
how the new restrictions have left a human toll of pain and suffering.
Children who cannot visit their parents, elderly Cubans unable to see the
island again before they die, grandparents barred from seeing their
grandchildren – their stories will sadden and move you. The peace
museum will be the home for the exhibit until further notice.

Published by Latin America Working Group Education Fund
and the Washington Office on Latin America, Love, Loss and Longing
brings together photographic images from the exhibit. With a forward by
Wayne S. Smith. Available for purchase at the museum or online at the
Latin
America Working Group Education Fund for $20.00.

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.

Other
exhibits:
Some of the future planned exhibits:
-
“Peaceful
Societies”, over 50 societies have been identified that don't use
violence to
solve their problems.
-
"Peace has a History"; war is given great coverage in our
history books, but peace
scarcely gets a fraction of the space war is allotted.
