Bridgewater State University professor Dr. Paul Robinson will discuss the 80th anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima Japan and, three days later, on Nagasaki Japan, Sun., 11/23, at 2 p.m., at the Fort Taber-Fort Rodman Military Museum and Veterans Memorial, 1000C South Rodney French Blvd., New Bedford.
Three days after the bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan surrendered. The destruction was on a scale the world had never seen before.
The Japanese constitution, drafted during the U.S. occupation, renounces war as a means of settling disputes. Japan hasn’t revised that pacifist charter but the space around it has changed. Topics that were politically untouchable a decade ago are now freely debated.
Learn more about this thought-provoking. The program is free and there is ample free parking. Those attending are encouraged to tour the museum after the presentation.
