Dr. Akiba, Mayor of Hiroshima, on "Nuclear-Free World from the Cities" July 7, 2007

On July 7, 2007, Dr. Tadatoshi Akiba, Mayor of Hiroshima, came to Pugwash, Nova Scotia on the 50th anniversary of the the 1957 Pugwash Conference on Nuclear Disarmament.  Eloquently and forcefully, he argued that it is the responsibility of every person, every city, every government, and every country to demand that nuclear weapons never ever be used again and that all nuclear weapons should be eliminated.
