Peace pole

[5][6] In 1976, in the last years of Goi's life, the Byakko Shinko Kai began erecting peace poles throughout Japan.

[13] Peace poles are commonly installed at high-profile public gathering places, such as community parks or near the entrances of churches or schools.

[14] The University of California, Los Angeles has a limestone peace pole with 14 languages directly in front of Kerckhoff Hall.

The initial inspiration for planting a peace pole often is as a response to a local historic hate crime, incident or issue.

The world's second-largest peace pole, at 52 feet (16 m),[15] is located in Janesville, Wisconsin, at the site of a 1992 KKK rally (Saturday, May 30).

Some of these new libraries were installed at locations significant to the civil rights movement, such as the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama.
