Peaceful
World is forming a global network of small locally owned
and operated Bed & Breakfasts, Small Hotels, Hostels and
Cafes focused on local cultures and providing meeting places
for travelers and hosts.
Some of these Centers already exist but are unconnected.
Others will be created anew to support a local social or
environmental project, reflecting the needs and traditions
of their own locales.
At the Civil Rights Inn, a small hotel near the sites
of Martin Luther King's assassination, the famous bridge,
and the Birmingham jail, each room is decorated with

historic places can stay in inspiring and educational
surroundings and become, themselves, motivated to help
change the world.
