August 6th, 2025 marks the 80th Anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. We will commemorate this day with a Silent Peace Walk through downtown Cleveland. Eighty people dressed in white, the color of mourning in Japan, will solemnly and meditatively proceed from St. John’s Cathedral, down E. 9th St. to Lake Erie, as the Hibakusha, the “bomb-affected people,” sought water to ease their suffering. At sunset, we will light candle lanterns in remembrance of them. We will declare our intention that there will never be another nuclear war. No more Hiroshimas! No more Nagasakis! No More Hibakusha!
We invite you to join in the Silent Peace Walk. We need your help in recruiting 80 walkers. We hope to have a few dozen committed walkers by July 9th.
Initiated by Cleveland Nonviolence Network and Cleveland Peace Action. We are actively engaging many other groups, who can be listed as co-sponsors, in achieving the goal of 80 walkers. Contact: clevelandpeaceaction@gmail.com
