Three women, representing the different races of mankind, join hands in a universal gesture of unity and peace. Determination and hope radiate from their faces, while their mutually supportive postures convey the interdependence of mankind in its quest for peace.

The male figures complete the representation of the human races from the primitive societies, symbolized by the small child, to the industrial nations, symbolized by the adult male. Mankind's yearning and struggle for peace is expressed in the postures and faces of all.
