Cleveland, Ohio- Radio One Cleveland will host a National Day of Peace, Wednesday, May 19th at 12 noon at the Free Stamp in Downtown Cleveland, Ohio. Newstalk 1490, WERE-AM morning host, Basheer Jones noticed that as we look, listen and read we can’t help but notice the hate that is being spread across the country through media and social networks. Jones feels there isn’t anything wrong with disagreeing but being hateful is another issue. The National Day of Peace is a day created to encourage our country to embrace our similarities; focusing on the hate won’t bring about change only our demise.
Jones is calling for leaders around the country to join him by gathering community members and having a moment of silence on May 19th from 12 noon to 1pm. During this moment of silence people of all religious backgrounds will ask the creator for peace and the safety of the man, husband, and father Mr. Barack Obama.
“We may have different political agendas but at the end of the day life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is every American’s Dream. No matter where you’re from we have more similarities than differences. We all want peace!” says Jones.
The Peace movement will take place from California to New York where millions will follow the lead of Cleveland, Ohio’s “Moment of Silence” at the Free Stamp in Downtown Cleveland.
