Amy Goodman, executive producer and co-host of Democracy Now!, opened her talk Monday, April 5th, at Syracuse’s Le Moyne College with the topic of peacemaking. “I consider it a sacred mission to be talking about peace and the possibility of the media promoting peace, unusual in this country, in this day and age.” The theme of peacemaking was in keeping with the 4th annual Daniel Berrigan International House Peacemaker lecture.
