SCC Peace Pole and 9/11 Memorial

Ten years ago on September 11, 2002, a peace memorial was dedicated on the Scottsdale Community College campus near the art building.  Two saguaros represent the World Trade Center, a barrel cactus represents the Pentagon, and hedgehog cacti represent the field in Pennsylvania.  Also in this Peace Memorial Garden is a peace pole with "May Peace Prevail on Earth" written in the twelve languages taught at SCC in 2002 including two Native American languages of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa, Pipaash (Maricopa) and Tohono O'odham (Pima).  Peace be with you.
