PEACE SYMBOL;Nicholas Roerich However the Peace Symbol as we know it now was originally came to recognition in the United States in the 1950's and became the Symbol of a disaffected generation/or counter culture movement in the 60's.
Nicholas Roerich, a Russian artist and activist is credited with coming up with the symbol we know today. He explained it as follows.
"Banner of Peace symbol has ancient origins. Perhaps its earliest known example appears on Stone Age amulets: three dots, without the enclosing circle. Roerich came across numerous later examples in various parts of the world, and knew that it represented a deep and sophisticated understanding of the triune nature of existence. But for the purposes of the Banner and the Pact, Roerich described the circle as representing the totality of culture, with the three dots being Art, Science, and Religion, three of the most embracing of human cultural activities. He also described the circle as representing the eternity of time, encompassing the past, present, and future. "
The symbol was brought to the U.S. by Bayard Rustin, a U.S. civil rights protester. The peace sign was first used in the United States later in the same year when a pacifist protestor, Albert Bigelow, sailed his small boat near a scheduled U.S. nuclear test site displaying the CND banner. It was later used on civil rights marches and appeared at anti-Vietnam War demonstrations.
