The tower's last day at our Capitol Grounds is tomorrow, Wednesday!Wherever The Swords to Plowshares Bell Tower appears, visitors ring the bell in memorial, share stories, and inscribe the aluminum with personal remembrances of how people have suffered on all sides of war.Send a message to: stpbelltower2018@gmail.com to find out how you can help this public history project grow and bring it to a city near you!Learn more:http://www.wral.com/peace-memorial-arrives-in-raleigh-ahead-of-veterans-day/14160792/Swords to Plowshares Bell Tower in the News & Observer!http://www.newsobserver.com/2014/11/07/4303068_group-wants-to-end-war-not-glorify.html?sp=%2F99%2F100%2F&rh=1https://sites.google.com/site/stpbelltower/homewww.VeteransForPeace.comwww.ProjectRenew.comThis is the city, Raleigh, North Carolina.
