Working in concert with the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum , Mayors for Peace, CALC, the Lane Co. Commission for the Advancement of Human Rights and the Japanese-American Association of Lane County, Oregon WAND has established a travelling exhibit of posters, books and testimony on the devastation caused to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, by the U.S. bombings.  The exhibit was shown in the Atrium Building in downtown Eugene in October and November, 2008.

They are part of a campaign to elimate all nuclear weapons by 2020.

The following gallery is a sampling of the posters:
 
Hideko Tamura Snider, Kitty Piercy, Susan Cundiff

Hideko Tamura Snider, a survivor of the bombing,
joined Oregon WAND and
Mayors for Peace
in a campaign to eliminate all nuclear weapons by 2020.
She is shown here with Kitty Piercy, Mayor of Eugene and WAND member,
and Susan Cundiff, chapter leader.


Hideko's words and her survival moved many of us to tears.

The Hiroshima-Nagasaki exhibit is made up of posters, books and a video.  It is available for display by other peace groups in Oregon.  Please contact WAND for more information.
Every year, on the anniversary of the bombings, August 6, WAND, along with other Eugene Peace Groups, sponsors The Shadow Project.  Using cardboard silhouettes, participants chalk the outlines of animals and people on sidewalks around Eugene and Springfield.
