"Voices from Hiroshima" program will be July 11
by Terry Taylor, Interfaith Paths to Peace
The event will begin at 7 p.m. (ET) at Thomas Jefferson Unitarian Church, 4936 Brownsboro Road, Louisville. It is free and open to the public.
Presenters are
Ms. Miyoko Watanabe, a survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bomb and official witness for the Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation. She will describe her experience to remind the audience of the effects of atomic and nuclear weapons, raising a cry of warning about the future.
Steve Leeper, chairman of the Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation (the peace & international relations arm of the City of Hiroshima, Japan). He will make a presentation about why the Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation believes that nuclear weapons are about to get out of control. Many people believe such weapons will be used in the next year or two, and if we do not make substantial progress toward disarmament in the near future nuclear weaponry will spread throughout the world.
Event sponsors include:
The Louisville Hiroshima/Nagasaki Commemoration Committee

Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation
