Community Welcome for the Hibakusha
Let us never forget that for all of W's bravado in his hunt for WMDs, the US is the only nation ever to have used nuclear weapons in war.
Saturday, Aug. 9, is the 53rd anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki, and the Hibakusha, the witnesses and survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings, will be in Washington to tell their story. Join the Hiroshima/Nagasaki Peace Committee for a Community Welcome for the Hibakusha on Friday, Aug. 8. A reception, discussion and potluck supper will be held from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. at St. Stephens and the Incarnation Church, 16th and Newton Streets NW. For more information, call 703/369-7427.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
