From Kimberly Wilder, interim Coordinator of PeaceSmiths, Inc.:

It is so sad that the world lost Susan June Blake. Thank goodness that her work lives on through PeaceSmiths. It has been very rewarding going through the PeaceSmiths archives, remembering Susan’s philosophies, politics, and great effort.

Below are some photos of the archives. Since we are figuring out how to organize all this, and since we are not sure which artists created which, we are putting a copyright notice on them, to try to be fair to everyone, as we share a sneak peak.

Discoveries from the Archives

From the Cow Game which Susan set up each year at the Clearwater Hudson River Revival

The Mad Cow is not good for you. The Organic Cow is grass-grazing.

People – even celebrities – should be free to speak up, and warn people of danger. Above right: Don’t drink milk from cows that have been given rBGH growth hormone.

The best solution: Organic, non-dairy choices such as rice, almond, or soy milk. And, now that you have played the game, what do you think?
