Palacios Youths Back Global YMCA Peace Conference
Hayes eyed Matagorda County as the site for the 1976 International YMCA World Peace Conference. Residents raised over 50000 in two weeks to support bringing delegates from around the world, including potential communist nations, to Texas for the event. The effort included Mayor W. Naw Work Jackson guiding local fundraising and securing national YMCA support. The conference, set for November 7–14, aims to outline how YMCA can aid peace at local, national, and international levels.
