September
11th, 2001
On September 11 America was attacked by terrorists. This horrific act that
killed thousand of innocent people ignited a movement of unity around the
world. People have
transcended their differences and have come together.
For the past 8 years World Unity, Inc., a non-profit organization of
volunteers
has been on a mission to build a symbol that would lift humanity to this
greater
vision of the world.
Its message of hope and unity is conveyed in these four
simple lines that will be inscribed in a glass tower and illuminated
Are you greater than the sun
that
shines on everyone: Black,
Brown, Yellow, Red and White
the sun does not discriminate.
In light of the tragedy that has changed the world we want to
dedicate The Sun
Unity Tower to September 11th as a day that united the world
and honor all those
who died and those whose lives have been touched by this tragic event.
World Unity Inc. has received endorsements from Senator Kennedy,
Senator
Kerry, the late Congressman Joseph Moakley, Acting Governor Jane
Swift
and an award from Mayor Menino. We
have also received support from over
25 organizations across the Commonwealth as well as raised over a quarter
of
a million dollars to date. Right
now we are working with the MBTA who
have embraced the project to be sited on their land.
On October 19th. World Unity, Inc., an organization of
volunteers is holding
its 5th Annual Fundraising Event at the grand Ballroom of the
Royal Sonesta
Hotel. Tickets are $100.
All the proceeds to benefit the construction of The Sun
Unity Tower. Check our
