A 12-year-old girl, Sadoka Sasaki, started a peace movement halfway around the world. Now he story is being told here, in New York, and the symbol of her message is on display and behind shared at the 9/11 Tribute Center. Magee Hickey talked with the woman bringing the story to life.

"Our mission is to cultivate peace and world friendship," Laurie Rubin said.

Laurie Rubin, a blind Messo Sorprano singer who runs the Ohano Arts Center in Hawaii created an all youth musical called Peace On Your Wings. It's the story of a young girl who died from leukemia after the atomic bomb dropped in Hiroshima.

"It’s a story about peace in general," she said.

Legend has it when you fold a thousand cranes you are granted one wish, something this girl did. The cranes have become symbols of world peace and her brother donated a crane to the 9/11 Tribute Center.

"Even though 9/11 is a very different thing and a very different tragedy it relates to the human experience," she explained.

And the healing of the crane actually came full circle.

"There was a crane made of steel, it was actually made from the refuse or the metal that was left behind from the 9/11 destruction," Rubin described. "It was sent to Japan to comfort the victims of 3/11 when the earthquake took place after the tsunami."

Laurie says along with a sense of healing, Peace on Your Wings is kind of a movement.

"It will make people make cranes and really fight for peace," she said.
