“Peace pirate” may seem like an oxymoron, but two Wilmington residents hope many will adopt the moniker in a quest for world peace beginning this summer.
Susan Beaver Thompson and Arthur Lewis will begin the first leg of their peace expedition in June in a modest raft built by Lewis. They’ll journey some 1,000 miles down the Mississippi River from St. Louis to New Orleans, holding a series of peace talks along the way.
The couple calls their endeavor “Peace Pirates – Take Your Seat at the Table.”
