The Aurora-Newmarket Amnesty International Chapter would like to thank all those that made possible the displaying of the Making Peace exhibit in the Town Park.
\nThe exhibit brings home a truth that we normally overlook and take too much for granted.
\nWe live in a time and place that is unusually free from the terror of state-sponsored violence and arbitrary treatment.
\nWe don\u2019t fear the knock on the door in the middle of the night as an act prior to being \u201cdisappeared.\u201d We don\u2019t fear being tortured by our government, or having instruments of oppression and war directed at ourselves and our families.
\nThe exhibit reminds us that peace doesn\u2019t just happen. It is the result of courageous men and women keeping guard, speaking out and holding the powerful to account, even at a cost to themselves.
\nThank you once again to all those who brought this exhibit to Aurora and reminding us once again not only of our good fortune, but also of the legacy we enjoy from those courageous people that came before us.<\/p>\n
