Homer's Peace Tree

Essayist Emilie Springer and Jay Barrett interviewed two people about Homer’s Peace Tree, which sits in the Homer Public Library. They spoke with librarian Kevin Co and a former Homer resident about how the idea of the Peace Tree was formed in the wake of World War II. Steve Yoshida, who lives in Hawaii now, begins with his personal connection to Hiroshima, where the first nuclear bomb was dropped, and where the Peace Tree’s seeds are from.
