[pjw] Portland 2024 Hiroshima/Nagasaki memorial event next two weeks on the Video Bus

[Peace and Justice Works]

For those of you who missed it (and those of you who went but might want 
to experience it again), below is info about the 2024 Hiroshima day event 
as it will appear on the Flying Focus Video Bus starting tomorrow (Mon 
9/23) at 6 PM through the folloing Friday October 4. After that it should 
be streaming on the Flying Focus Youtube page within a few days...

I didn't mention in the description since it wasn't terribly relevant that 
the Iraq Affinity Group was a cosponsor of this event.

Portland 2024 Hiroshima/Nagasaki memorial event next two weeks on the 
Video Bus

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.
