The Triumph of Peace is a bronze and granite memorial located in Piedmont Park, Atlanta. Erected in 1911 by the Gate City Guard, it honors their efforts to promote peace following the Civil War, as they embarked on a tour to unite former adversaries from Union states with people from the South. The statue, also known as Cease Firing Peace is Proclaimed, depicts an angel of peace holding an olive branch and reaching out her hand to a sitting soldier.
Created by sculptor Allen George Newman, who studied under John Quincy Adams Ward, this memorial stands as a testament to the mission of peace endorsed by the military and people across the United States. It serves as a reminder of the importance of unity and reconciliation in the aftermath of conflict.
