Mary Wright traveled to all the counties in Michigan, visiting schools and municipalities using the sculpture as a visual aid in her campaign to orchestrate students and citizens to create the 6,000 ornaments that would adorn the tree in Washington D.C. that was to represent the State of Michigan and stand as a symbol of peace for the people of the United States.
