Peace Pilgrim, born Mildred Lisette Norman, is known for her remarkable journey as a peace activist and spiritual teacher. Born in 1908 in Egg Harbor City, New Jersey, she dedicated her life to promoting peace, simplicity, and love.

In 1953, at the age of 45, Peace Pilgrim embarked on her pilgrimage for peace, walking across the United States to spread her message. She never asked for money, nor did she carry any possessions. She relied solely on the kindness of others for food, shelter, and clothing. Throughout her journey, which lasted for almost three decades, she walked more than 25,000 miles, covering almost every state in America.

Peace Pilgrim addressed audiences of all backgrounds, sharing her philosophy of inner peace and encouraging individuals to find peace within themselves. She promoted world peace through personal transformation, urging people to let go of negative emotions, live simply, and practice love and understanding.

In 1981, after completing her pilgrimage, Peace Pilgrim passed away in a car accident. However, her legacy lives on through her book, "Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words," which continues to inspire countless people to this day. Peace Pilgrim's selfless journey serves as a reminder of the power of determination and the possibility of creating positive change through personal example and inner transformation.
