Marshallese Eduction Initiative Leads Community Events For Nuclear Legacy Week
The Marshallese Education Initiative, a Springdale-based nonprofit, is hosting a series of events this week in honor of Nuclear Legacy Week, an annual remembrance of the lasting biological, ecological, and cultural effects of nuclear weapons and testing.
The Cost: Tomorrow marks the 70th anniversary of the Castle Bravo detonation, the first and most powerful of a series of nuclear tests by the U.S. at Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands. The tests left several islands uninhabitable, causing widespread health problems. In 1986, the U.S. signed a compact allowing Marshallese citizens to live, work, and study in the U.S. without a visa.
Remember: All events are free and open to the public, including multiple film screenings & discussions, art exhibits, panels, receptions, and a Nuclear Victims Remembrance Day commemoration at the Jones Center on Friday, Mar 1, from 6-8p.
