Mission Statement
The mission of the Garden of Peace, Inc. is to create and maintain a memorial to victims of homicide that, through its location in Boston's Government Center:
- raises the awareness of our citizens, public officials, and business leaders of the human cost of violence
- stands as a symbol of connection for the many and diverse communities and constituencies in Massachusetts touched by violence who share a common grief and a common hope
- provides a site for visits by anti-violence education and advocacy groups, survivor groups and individual survivors that is both evocative and inspirational
