The US bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6th and August 8th 1945 were the first and only time nuclear weapons were used in on a civilian population. The nuclear bombings have long been pushed as “necessary evils” by the US bourgeois state. Tonight the Peoples School along with the Asian-American Friendship Congress (aafc.us.org) seek to dispel this myth and show these acts for the atrocities they were. Through education, the peace loving Americans and the people of the world shall never be duped into supporting nuclear aggression anymore.
