Index to Audio and Video Transcripts

This page contains transcripts of talks given by Peace Pilgrim and interviews of her friends, family and others that were recorded as part of the making of the documentaries "The Spirit of Peace" and "Peace Pilgrim: American Sage". Many are available only on this website. Visit our Audio page to listen to some of these talks.

During her pilgrimage, Peace Pilgrim spoke on many occasions to groups large and small. Indeed, after she had completed 25,000 miles in 1964, her main priority became speaking. She used every opportunity to get her message of inner and outer peace to as many as possible. While she would often speak on local television and radio stations, most of her talks were given in schools, and churches, and in homes. A number of these talks were preserved on audio and video tape. The links below are to transcripts of some of these talks.
