| + | August 6th is Hiroshima Day. The message is '''Never Again'''. | ||
| + | Everyone within half a mile of the bombs was instantly vaporised by intense | ||
| + | heat. All that was left was their shadows burnt into stone walls. see | ||
| + | http://www.hastingsagainstwar.org/news.htm for good summary | ||
| + | |||
| + | We mark the event by painting shadows on the pavement in | ||
| + | gentleman's walk (with council permission) on the evening of August 5th - meet | ||
| + | 8pm in car park of Friends' Meeting House. | ||
| + | |||
| + | On the day of August 6th, we will be leafletting in the same | ||
| + | area from 12 am-2pm to explain the shadows, then walking to the Peace Pillar in | ||
| + | Chapelfield Gardens to share reflections and food. | ||
