The Arc of the Moral Universe

Martin Luther King Jr. once famously said, "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice."  The Great Peacemakers are listed below in loose chronological order along the sacred geometry of a Fibonacci Spiral with origami cranes, symbols of peace, denoting each peacemaker.

note:  In the above quote, Martin Luther King Jr., was actually a paraphrasing a statement made by Theodore Parker who was a 19th Century Unitarian minister.
