“'Disarm, disarm! The sword is not the balance of justice.'
Blood does not wipe out dishonor nor violence indicate possession."
— Julia Ward Howe, from A Mother's Day Proclamation
The original Mother's Day was the Mother's Day of Peace, championed by abolitionists Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis. Jarvis's daughter—also Anna— worked years later on to establish Mother's Day officially.
