Roots Of Knowledge Panel W3

This window finds freedom-loving people everywhere jubilantly celebrating the end of the Second World War and, in the victorious aftermath, paving the way for peace between nations. In the foreground are leaders—not simply from the World War II era but also subsequent decades—who championed the causes of liberty, justice, and harmony: Eleanor Roosevelt, Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Mahatma Gandhi. This panel contains a genuine Purple Heart, donated by Susanne Nelson, whose father Delbert R. Warner served in World War II. (Nelson's daughter, Ashley Fairbourne, worked as an artist on the RoK.)
