The Rosette and Robert W. White Sr. Fund for Peace & Justice is named for the parents of founder Robert Anbian. "My parents taught me what I know about compassion, loyalty, fairness, and taking responsibility for your community and country," says Anbian.

"They came of age in World War II as teenagers. My father abandoned a broken home to join the army at 16. My mother in Paris had seen her family decimated by the Nazi Occupation -- two brothers were killed in the Resistance, another spent the war in German POW camps, her sister died from untreated TB. My family's beginning was very much marked by the word, 'liberation.'

"My mother (now deceased), who braved a new country and language with children in tow, often in the face of prejudice and hostility, showed my sisters and me that adversity can make a person more compassionate and understanding. My father was always the go-to guy, a rock of loyalty amid a lot of storms. As a World War II vet, he supported the Vietnam War initially, and he and I had difficult times. But however much he disagreed with me, he never abandoned me. And later, his innate good sense and honest patriotism led him to understand the War-resistors' point of view.

"People need to feel some faith, some hope in the country and its citizens to get up and protest and to work" for peace and justice, especially in the face of times as bleak as these. My parents gave me such a fundamental faith and hope, and for that reason I wanted to honor them with this Fund."
