The Japanese and English pamphlets were published to tell many people at home and abroad about Barbara Reynolds’ (1915-1990) work as a peace activist, and as founder of the World Friendship Center (WFC) in Hiroshima. The timelines at the end of the pamphlet offer readers ample information about Reynolds’ achievements from 1951 to 1990. First of all, her family made a round-the-world trip on a yacht in 1954. Then, Barbara started the first peace pilgrimage with hibakusha, and visited 14 international cities in 1962. She established the WFC together with Dr. Tomin Harada in 1965. She then started the "Hiroshima for Antinuke Peace Caravan" in the United States with a hibakusha, Miyoko Matsubara, carrying A-bomb pictures drawn by hibakusha in 1982. Barbara's monument, unveiled on June 12, 2011, in the Hiroshima Peace Park, has the inscription, "I, too, am a hibakusha," "My heart is always with Hibakusha and Hiroshima," which she often mentioned during her lifetime.
