International Action Center co-director Sara Flounders (left) and members of ‘HIBAKUSHA’, survivors of the atomic bomb dropped on Japan 60 years ago, were part of a panel discussion at the New School University in NYC May 3 that also included former U.S. Attorney General, Ramsey Clark. More than 200,000 people were incinerated in the U.S. atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II. The standing-room-only meeting focused on the nuclear threat that the Pentagon poses worldwide. The U.S. is the only country that has used nuclear weapons. The meeting, which included a photo exhibit and a segment of the film, Poison Dust showing the effects of depleted uranium, was sponsored by IAC, Campaign for the Abolition of Depleted Uranium, Iraqi Hope Network and New School Human Rights Group.
