TVCC is honored to host the special museum exhibit Educating for Peace: Never Again - Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which comes from the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum in Japan, through the Wholistic Peace Institute's Educating for Peace program. There is much to see and learn from the images displayed, not just of destruction, but also of peace, as well as from listening to a survivor as witness to the horror and the effects of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. Ed Kawasaki will be speaking at the McLean-Meyer Theater, as mentioned in our previous blog entry, on Wednesday May 4th at 6 p.m. as well as Thursday May 5th at 9:30 a.m. Both the exhibit and the talk are open and free to the community.
When you have been to both events and would like to learn more, we invite you, also, to visit the library and see what we have in terms of books and videos, such as:
Listening to stories that become history, or reading about them is how we can say "Never again", and keep learning more about peace.
