I arrived in Los Angeles this afternoon to attend a conference for the PeaceJam foundation. This club gathers young people from around the country and world to meet Nobel Peace Prize winners. The Nobel Peace Laureates for this conference include Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu, Shirin Ebadi, Jodi Williams, and many others. One of these Laureates is Rigoberta Menchu Tum. Rigoberta is a Guatemalan woman who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1992 for her work with the indigenous people of Guatemala. I was lucky enough to meet this amazing woman at last year's PeaceJam conference and again in LA this afternoon.
