On May 11, 2008, we will honor the work of mothers to teach, in the words of
Mothers Day founder Julia Ward Howe, *patience, charity and mercy*.
Mother's Day was first organized 138 years ago by abolitionist, suffragette
and poet Julia Ward Howe. In 1870 she organized a Mothers Day for Peace to
promote peace and speak out against war.
*Julia's Voice* is a group of "mothers and others" joined together to return
Mothers Day to its original intent.
