Downtown Peace Park and Peace Nook (book store).

On May 5th 1971, around 1,500 people gathered in McAlester Park and marched together for peace. Businesses closed in honor. They ended back in the park for a re-dedication ceremony: naming the space “Peace Park.” It included speeches, a rally, and then an all-night rock concert in the park. “It’s dedicated to a concept that’s not that foreign – a simple but elusive notion of peace.”
