Soka Gakkai Victory Over Violence “I Choose” Musical, Entertainment, and General Assembly

I attended the Soka Gakkai Victory Over Violence “I Choose” Musical, Entertainment, and General Assembly at the Hawaii Convention Center on Sunday, January 17, 2010 from 12:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M.

I made a speech in front of over 3,000 Soka Gakkai members and guests.  I spoke about how Hawaii passed the Peace Day law and last year Soka Gakkai worked with us in the annual event.  I also mentioned how we can work together for peace through peace education to reduce the violence in Hawaii and peace missions to reduce the violence in the world.  I honored Soka Gakkai president Daisaku Ikeda with a Hawaii State House certificate and mentioned the programs he championed to promote peace.  Also on stage were Reps. Glenn Wakai and Lyla Berg.
