51st Anniversary of the Peace Sign...hmmmmmmm even though it is upside down.

There's a lot to learn about the history of the Peace Sign and I bet conjuredUp and Luminari will be sharing some of the information they have regarding the Peace Symbol.

Sir_Chi, are you still out there? Sir_Chi was thinking about making T-shirts with it right-side up like my Avatar.

...the peace sign turns fifty years old today (2008). Over the past five decades the peace sign has become one of the world’s enduring icons. The original peace sign was developed in 1958 by a British textile designer and conscientious objector named Gerald Holtom. He created the symbol by combining the semaphore letters N and D, for nuclear disarmament. On Feb. 21, 1958 the symbol was accepted by the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War. The symbol soon began to be used in anti-nuclear protests across Britain and then spread across the globe.
