Hiroshima Remembrance

On Thursday morning, August 6 at 6 a.m., the Martha’s Vineyard Peace Council invites the Island to gather at sunrise by the Gay Head Light atop the Cliffs.

This will be the peace council’s 32nd consecutive remembrance of the horrific August 6 atomic bombing in 1945. Each person will be given an opportunity to offer a word, share a song, to pray and to be silent. The hope is that by recalling the horror of nuclear war, and any war or violence, people may become more fully committed to a peace founded on justice and sustained by good will.

All are invited to carpool at Cronig’s Vineyard Haven parking lot at 5:15 a.m. sharp, or at Alley’s in West Tisbury at 5:30 a.m. sharp. Wear warm clothing. For information call Alden Besse at 508-693-3930.
