On August 6-9, 80 years ago, the United States dropped two nuclear bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Japan. Each year these dates are honored as a remembrance and powerful symbols of the horrors of nuclear warfare. Not only in Japan, but around the world, peace activists call for the abolition of nuclear weapons worldwide. Speaker Ethan Swizdor will highlight these important events and discuss ways each of us can cultivate peace daily, within ourselves and our spheres of influence.
