"Let There Be Peace mean's love people on Earth" is by Jill Jackson Miller and Sy Miller written in 1955. "Religion events," This song was initially written for and sung by the International Children's Choir created by Easter Beakly and Arthur Granger - the Granger Dance Academy of Long Beach. Ms. Jackson and Mr. Miller led a number of rehearsals for the children's choire from 1955 - 1957. The song continues to be the theme of this group of children who represent a host of nations and who sang in Washington DC in 2002 at the World Watershed Summit at the Marriott Hotel on Pennsylvaniz Avenue near the White House.(citation - Roberta Haley - the choir's first Ms. Tunisia 1956).〔 ''Daily News of Los Angeles'' (April 25, 1987) page 25: "Jill Jackson-Miller, composer of 'Let There Be Peace on Earth,' will speak at 11 a.m. Sunday at West Valley Unity Church, Reseda."〕 Jackson, who had been suicidal after the failure of a marriage, later said that she wrote the song after discovering what she called the "life-saving joy of God's peace and unconditional love." The song was performed by the Young People's Chorus of New York City on 25 September 2015 at the close of the Interfaith Prayer Service and Remembrance, presided over by Pope Francis, at Ground Zero in New York.〔https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2015/09/25/the-story-behind-pope-franciss-interfaith-service-at-ground-zero/〕 The sheet music of "Let There Be Peace on Earth", published in 1971 by the Charles Hansen Music Company of New York, included this history of the song: Today, "Let There Be Peace on Earth" continues to be performed world-wide throughout the year, and particularly during the Christmas season. It is included (either in the original text or in a gender-neutral variant) in the hymnals of a variety of faiths,〔http://www.hymnary.org/text/let_there_be_peace_on_earth〕 and is used in worship services even by a number of faiths that do not include it in their hymnals. It is the finale song during the holidays each year during the "IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth" firework show at Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. It previously featured narration by Walter Cronkite and the vocal talents of Sandi Patti and Harlem Boys Choir. On November 7, 1988, it was performed by the GMA Stars and Personalities along with the small group of children with lighted candles in honor of the Launching of GMA-7's 777-foot tower in Tandang Sora, Quezon City, the tallest man-made structure in the country used for the Towering Power: A Musical Dedication. In 2007, there was a campaign by a Pennsylvania woman to persuade churches to sing this song at the close of the Sunday service nearest to the anniversary of the September 11 attacks and to establish a tradition of "Peace on Earth" Day.〔Christie Campbell.
