10:00am Forum
5:00pm Peace Vigil at Y12 Nuclear Weapons Plant
7:30pm Reception
Takashi Teramoto was 10 years old in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 when the United States destroyed the city with the first atomic bomb. Teramoto is an official witness of the Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation. Hibakusha (survivors) bring to the world a unique perspective on the power of the bomb. They tell their stories in the hope of preventing further use of nuclear weapons of mass destruction.
Takashi will be a guest at TVUUC and will be the speaker at the 10:00 Forum on Sunday, January 13, 2008, in the Lizzie French Crozier Room at the Church on Kingston Pike in Knoxville.
Takashi will also visit Oak Ridge for the weekly Sunday vigil of the Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance at 5:00pm at the gates of the Y12 Nuclear Weapons Plant. Y-12 enriched the uranium for the Little Boy bomb which destroyed Hiroshima.
An evening reception for Takashi-san will be held at TVUUC at 7:30pm on Sunday, January 13.
Takashi’s visit coincides with the presentation of Witness to History, a poster exhibit from the Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation at TVUUC from January 7-28, 2008.
