End Nuclear Madness: Hiroshima/Nagasaki 2024

Seventy-nine years after US bombs fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing hundreds of thousands of people, people gathered at Portland's waterfront to remember and say never again. This two-part show captures most of the event held on August 6, 2024, organized by the Japanese American Museum of Oregon, Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility, and other groups. Host Jeff Selby, interim Director of Portland's Office of Equity and Human Rights, sets a somber tone with a dash of humor. Other presenters include Veteran for Peace Dan Shea sharing remarks he made in Hiroshima several years ago, Regna Merritt, PSR's board chair, talking about a project in 1985 in which her mother and thousands of others wrapped the Pentagon with peace banners, and Hibakusha (atomic bomb survivor) Michiko Kornhauser telling the story of her childhood and her family and friends.

Performers include Portland Taiko, drumming the event to a start and closing out, Barbara Stafford Wilson and former Oregon poet laureate Kim Stafford reading poetry from their family, the Tsubaki Kai Dancers, the Ikoi-no-kai Singing Group and slam poet Ty.Brack.

The show was recorded, edited and produced by Dan Handelman with some additional footage from Dan Shea and Samantha Paladini.
