This Memorial Day special highlights peacemakers and people helping others around the world, including those who bridge divides, feed strangers and hold space for grief. We look at volunteers in France helping college students with groceries. Also, the “Designing Peace” exhibit at a museum in New York. And, a group of monks from a Vietnamese Buddhist temple walking for peace. Plus, a look at global cooperation on the International Space Station despite geopolitical tensions on Earth.
