The Nancy Brown Peace Carillon is a carillon on Detroit's Belle Isle dedicated to peace and named after Nancy Brown, the pseudonym of The Detroit News columnist Mrs. J. E. Leslie (born Annie Louise Brown). Brown began writing for the newspaper in 1919, held her first religious "Sunrise Service" (drawing approximately 50,000 people) on Belle Isle in 1934, and began a campaign to raise money to build a peace carillon on the island in 1936. Brown herself broke the ground for the carillon on October 30, 1939, and its cornerstone was laid on December 13 of that year. A notable backer of the project was John C. Lodge, a former mayor of Detroit and a member of the Detroit Common Council.

El primer concierto en el Nancy Brown Peace Carillon se llevó a cabo el Día de la Independencia, el 4 de julio de 1940, y contó con música patriótica estadounidense como "America the Beautiful", el "Himno de batalla de la República" y "The Star-Spangled Banner".​ El último centavo para cubrir el costo de construcción del carillón fue donado el 7 de diciembre de 1941, el día del ataque a Pearl Harbor.​ Brown continuó escribiendo su columna, titulada "Experiencia", hasta enero de 1942, y se retiró de The Detroit News al mes siguiente.​​​ Murió en Detroit el 7 de octubre de 1948, a la edad de 77 años, y fue enterrada en el cementerio Oakview en Royal Oak.​ Originalmente, el carillón tenía la intención de incluir campanas, pero debido a su costo prohibitivo, en su lugar se construyó con un órgano y un amplificador.​ Para 1970, el carillón había dejado de tocar música debido a los daños causados por las palomas, mientras que algunas de sus vidrieras habían sido destruidas por vandalismo.​ Ese año, mientras Detroit enfrentaba un déficit de $ 22,5 millones, el entonces superintendente general del Departamento de Parques y Recreación de la ciudad, John May, observó que "no tenemos el dinero para repararlo".​ En 1974, el Departamento de Parques y Recreación expresó su esperanza de reemplazar el órgano y el amplificador con un sistema de 8 pistas que reproduciría grabaciones de campanas de carillón; al mismo tiempo, Friends of Belle Isle se esforzó por comprar e instalar campanas reales en el carillón, lo que habría costado aproximadamente $ 100,000.​ Finalmente, se instalaron nuevas campanas en el carillón en 2003.​ Para 2012, el carillón de la paz de Nancy Brown se había automatizado y tocaba música todos los días.​ Sin embargo, en 2013, el escritor local John Gallagher señaló que el carillón había sufrido tanto negligencia como vandalismo durante un período prolongado de tiempo y que necesitaba mantenimiento.​ En conmemoración del 50 aniversario de los disturbios de Detroit de 1967, en septiembre de 2017 se llevó a cabo en el carillón un evento titulado "67 segundos de paz". Fue dirigido por el pastor de la Iglesia del Mesías, Barry Randolph, y también contó con una lectura del "Poema para Belle Isle" de la autora Marsha Music, así como una presentación del historiador Jamon Jordan.​ (es)
  • The Nancy Brown Peace Carillon is a carillon on Detroit's Belle Isle dedicated to peace and named after Nancy Brown, the pseudonym of The Detroit News columnist Mrs. J. E. Leslie (born Annie Louise Brown). Brown began writing for the newspaper in 1919, held her first religious "Sunrise Service" (drawing approximately 50,000 people) on Belle Isle in 1934, and began a campaign to raise money to build a peace carillon on the island in 1936. Brown herself broke the ground for the carillon on October 30, 1939, and its cornerstone was laid on December 13 of that year. A notable backer of the project was John C. Lodge, a former mayor of Detroit and a member of the Detroit Common Council. The Nancy Brown Peace Carillon is octagonal in cross-sectional shape, 98 feet (30 m) in height, and located near the band shell on Belle Isle. Designed by the architectural firm of Harley, Ellington, and Day, the tower is neo-Gothic in design; according to the American Institute of Architects, its appearance is "at once stately and cheerfully unpretentious". The carillon was completed at a total cost of approximately $60,000; the money was raised entirely by donations from Brown's Detroit News readers and related fund-raisers, and the tower was completed without expense to the city. It was dedicated during the seventh annual Sunrise Service on June 16, 1940, which was attended by roughly 50,000 people. The first concert at the Nancy Brown Peace Carillon was held on Independence Day, July 4, 1940, and featured American patriotic music such as "America the Beautiful", the "Battle Hymn of the Republic", and "The Star-Spangled Banner". The very last penny to cover the carillon's cost of construction was donated on December 7, 1941, the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Brown continued writing her column, titled "Experience", until January 1942, and she retired from The Detroit News the following month. She died in Detroit on October 7, 1948, at the age of 77, and was buried at Oakview Cemetery in Royal Oak. The carillon was originally intended to feature bells, but because of their prohibitive cost, it was instead built with an organ and amplifier. By 1970, the carillon had ceased playing music due to damage caused by pigeons, while some of its stained-glass windows had been destroyed by vandalism. That year, while Detroit faced a $22.5 million deficit, then-current general superintendent of the city's Department of Parks and Recreation, John May, observed that "we haven’t got the money to repair it". In 1974, the Parks and Recreation Department voiced its hopes to replace the organ and amplifier with an 8-track system that would play recordings of carillon bells; at the same time, the Friends of Belle Isle endeavored to purchase and install real bells in the carillon, which would have cost approximately $100,000. New chimes were ultimately installed in the carillon in 2003. By 2012, the Nancy Brown Peace Carillon had been automated and was playing music daily. However, by 2013, local writer John Gallagher noted that the carillon had suffered from both neglect and vandalism for an extended period of time, and that it was in need of maintenance. In remembrance of the 50th anniversary of the 1967 Detroit riot, an event entitled "67 Seconds of Peace" was held at the carillon in September 2017. It was led by Church of the Messiah pastor Barry Randolph and also featured a reading of "Poem for Belle Isle" by author Marsha Music as well as a presentation by historian Jamon Jordan. (en)
