80 Years Later: The Atomic Bomb, Maryland and Nuclear Abolition

This teach-in will remember these events through a series of short films featuring:

•  Marylanders who had a direct part in the bombing and aftermath;

•  An interview with one of the most famous genbaku hibakusha (people affected by an atomic bomb);

•  An animated depiction of what nuclear war would mean in 2025;

•  Local and worldwide efforts to prevent nuclear war and achieve nuclear abolition.

With the help of knowledgeable panelists, we will consider whether these weapons can be eliminated, and learn what role we the people, the media and elected officials can play.
