On Friday, August 28, the members of The Peace Project, YPC and YPC Kidz will kick-off the World Peace Party at Historic Gordon Park on Detroit's west side (Clairmount & Rosa Parks). The kick-off event will take place at 11:30a.m., with youth members making a pledge to peace in the community. 

Following the pledge and making a handprint on the Wall of Peace, members of the YPC Dance Group known as, Got Peace, will get the party started with their performance of the World Peace Party dance. Additionally, members of the baby group called, Y Pee Wees, will participate by making their own pledge to peace and making their personal handprints on the Wall of Peace.

Gordon Park is a significant location in Detroit's history being the site where the 1967 civil disturbance began. The Peace Project began working with the City of Detroit to adopt this park in the summer of 2009. The group comprised of community youth working in cooperation with concerned citizens has worked to revitalize the park and make it a point of promise and hope as the city moves forward.
Friday, August 28th will be a day of celebration as the Peace Project, YPC, YPC Kidz and the adorable members of Y Pee Wee's launch the World Peace Party.

Film footage of participants joining in the World Peace Party Dance will become part of a documentary with people around the globe joining in the celebration of peace and brotherhood.

The party starts in Detroit. Be there, too!
