I'm Ed Tant, a columnist for the Athens Banner-Herald newspaper (onlineathens.com) here in Athens GA and a volunteer with the Athens Human Rights Festival, a springtime activist tradition here (www.athenshumanrightsfest.org). Our 32nd Annual Athens Human Rights Festival on May 1 and 2 featured great Athens music and many speakers including Chicago "peace journalist" Bob Koehler of the Tribune Media syndicate. About 30 years ago I interviewed Senji Yamaguchi, a survivor of the Nagasaki atomic bomb, for my column so I was glad to see that your event included survivors of the atomic weapons dropped on Japan in 1945. As General Omar Bradley said, "The only way to win an atomic war is to make sure that it never happens." Thank y'all for working toward that goal.
