AVON, N.Y. — Advocates for peace gathered at the Avon traffic circle on Routes 5 and 20 for a candlelight vigil, marking the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing on Aug. 6. Participants emphasized the need for nuclear disarmament and lasting peace.
“We’re in a really dangerous point right now. There are nine nuclear-armed countries, and there’s a lot of conflict between those countries now,” said Holly Adams of Genesee Valley Citizens for Peace.
Adams said, “There are lots of bills being promoted, but they’re not responding, and they’ll only respond if we push, and we have to push en masse because I think our lives depend on it.”
The bombing of Nagasaki resulted in an estimated 66,000 deaths, with thousands more dying later.
