Peace Pilgrim (July 18, 1908 – July 7, 1981), born Mildred Lisette Norman, was an American spiritual teacher, mystic, pacifist, vegetarian activist and peace activist.[1][2] In 1952, she became the first woman to walk the entire length of the Appalachian Trail in one season.[3] Starting on January 1, 1953, in Pasadena, California, she adopted the name "Peace Pilgrim" and walked across the United States for 28 years, speaking with others about peace. She was on her seventh cross-country journey when she died.[4]
A transcript of a 1964 conversation with Peace Pilgrim from a broadcast on KPFK radio in Los Angeles was published as "Steps Toward Inner Peace". She stopped counting miles in that year, having walked more than 25,000 mi (40,000 km) for peace.

There is a documentary on youtube about her, but there needs to be a more up to date one
or a movie. People should know about her, talk about her, venerate her.
What's up Americans?
She's one of your treasures, one of your heroes
