Readings On The 79th Anniversary Of Hiroshima

On August 6, 1945, the United States used the atomic bomb for the first time to destroy the city of Hiroshima, Japan; on August 9, the U.S. used the atomic bomb again on Nagasaki, Japan. Each year local peace activists gather in Albany to read Hiroshima, by John Hersey, which tells the story of the bombing by following the story of six of the survivors. Local poet Dan Wilcox of Veterans for Peace talks with Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
