We had a terrific turn-out at yesterday's Walking Tour of Worcester's Peace History. Attendees heard stirring stories and speeches from peacemakers of Worcester's past.

"I've lived in Worcester all my life and never heard any of this," said tour reader Kyle Hargrove.

I think we'll make hosting a peace-time walking tour a tradition for July 8th which is Emancipation Day, or Quock Walker Day, here in MA.
