AVON, N.Y. — People in Livingston County held their annual vigil on Thursday night in remembrance of the lives lost in nuclear fire 81 years ago.
Dozens gathered at Circle Park on Main Street in Avon. The vigil marked the anniversary of the United States dropping an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, with the city of Nagasaki suffering the same fate just three days later.
Many held signs advocating for peace and the disarmament of nuclear weapons across the globe.
“The world is in a really bad spot,” Holly Adams said, who’s with Genesee Valley Citizens for Peace.
“I think all we can do is keep gathering together and pressing as much as we can,” Adams said.
The bomb dropped on Nagasaki killed an estimated 66,000 people, with thousands more dying of complications in the years after.
