The American Friends Service Committee and the Austin Center for Peace and Justice held a ceremony on August 10th on the Lamar Pedestrian Bridge to commemorate the human losses caused by the usage of the atomic bombs in 1945 in the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The participants folded paper cranes, read poetry, and floated candles out onto Austin’s Towne Lake. Each lantern represented a soul lost during the atomic bombings.
