Santa Monica, CA- A public 'Hiroshima Candlelight Remembrance and Peace Vigil' will take place on Tuesday, August 6 from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM at the 26-foot tall 'Chain Reaction' nuclear mushroom cloud peace sculpture and warning monument in the Santa Monica Civic Center. The event will be held to remember the victims of the August 6, 1945 bombing of Hiroshima, and to support efforts leading to a nuclear weapons-free world. The sculpture is located on the 1800 block of Main Street just north of Pico Blvd. in Santa Monica. The vigil will include speakers from Physicians for Social Responsibility-Los Angeles and other peace group activists who are concerned that there is still a worldwide danger that exists from nuclear weapons. Also speaking will be community activists with Save Chain Reaction, who are working to save and restore the threatened sculpture that was designed, created and gifted to Santa Monica by the late 3-time Pulitzer Prize winning political cartoonist Paul Conrad. The sculpture has been standing in the Civic Center since 1991, and last year was designated as a Santa Monica landmark by the Santa Monica Landmarks Commission. The Vigil will open with the Presentation of the Hiroshima Eternal Peace Flame, which will be brought to the event by Regina Sakurai and Michiyo Masubuchi of the Koyassan Temple in Los Angeles. The Vigil will conclude with a 'Candlelight Circle of Peace' surrounding the iconic 'Chain Reaction' warning monument. The Event is being Sponsored by Physicians for Social Responsibility-Los Angeles and Save Chain Reaction.
