<\/center>\nTo achieve peace in the world, we need to understand that we are all one human family. As Martin Luther King said, ” We must all learn to live together as brothers – or we will all perish together as fools. This is the great issue facing us today. No individual can live alone; no nation can live alone. We are tied together.”<\/p>\n
He was echoing the words of another great preacher who lived in another era: John Donne: “No man is an island, entire of itself. Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. . . Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.”<\/p>\n
As one family, we need to speak the same language, and one way that is possible is through music, since music can be considered as the universal language.<\/p>\n
Here are the articles in CPNN since 2015 that illustrate how music functions to unite us across all language barriers.
