Bruce Nichols participated in last summer’s “Stonewalk” from Boston to New York City. That project, sponsored by September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows and the Peace Abbey, moved a memorial stone to “Unknown Civilians Killed in War” by human power the 220 road miles between those two cities.
This summer the stone will be on the move again and Bruce will once again be helping push the five thousand pound caisson – this time from Nagasaki to Hiroshima Japan. Peaceful Tomorrows and the Peace Abbey are again organizing the walk along with a group of atom bomb survivors and other Japanese peace groups. The walk will begin on July 2 and conclude in Hiroshima on August 4, two days before the 60th anniversary of the bombing of that city.
