BETTY WILLIAMS
From: http://dept.kent.edu/violence_symposium/betty_williams.htm
In 1976, along with Mairead Maguire, Betty Williams was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her work against violence in her native Northern Ireland. Together, Williams and Mairead founded the Community of Peace People, an organization which is still involved in the betterment of life in Northern Ireland.
But, as Williams herself has said many times, the Nobel Peace Prize is not awarded for what one has done but for what one will do. For more than twenty years she has traveled the world, working with fellow Nobel laureates in trouble spots throughout the world where the cause of peace, and especially the safety and well being of children, is at risk.
Betty Williams Visited St. Ignatius in 2004.
