Ikeda Center hosts a special Dialogue Nights on 08/08 @7pm!!

Looking for something interesting and meaningful on a Friday evening? Interested in having difficult conversations about tough topics? Curious about dialogue? The Ikeda Center for Peace, Learning, and Dialogue is hosting our event Dialogue Nights on Friday, August 08 at 7pm, right in Harvard Square! Titled “Strength Through Peace: Learning From Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 80 Years Later”, this event commemorates the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In honor of the hundreds of thousands of innocent people who died and in solidarity with the hibakusha (atomic bomb survivors) who continue to courageously share their testimonies, our dialogue will explore what we can learn from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, what strength and peace really mean, and what each of us can do to transform a culture of war to a culture of peace. We’ll host guest speakers Joe Hodgkin, Hospitalist Physician at Mass General Hospital and Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility Co-Chair for Nuclear Disarmament and Molly McGinty, Program Director at the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War. The event will be focused on small-group dialogues rethinking global strength and power through a lens of peace. We hope you’ll join us! Doors open at 6:30pm for FREE FOOD!
