How do we respond to a new nuclear arms race?
A bomb is detonated in the Bikini Islands during a U.S. nuclear weapons test in 1946 called Operation Crossroads.(Miliman)
Peace House of Ashland is hosting a symposium at Southern Oregon University on April 25, (co-sponsored by the Department of History, Economics, and Politics).
The event highlights the new nuclear arms race: the process of upgrading and modernizing nuclear arsenals of the world's nuclear powers. In the US alone, that undertaking will cost $1.7 trillion.
Joining the Exchange are two guests who believe there are better options to make the world safer from nuclear war.
Michael Niemann is a member of the board at Peace House of Ashland. He's a retired professor of International and African Studies.
Kevin Martin is President of Peace Action and the Peace Action Education Fund. He's also the former director of Project Abolition, a national organizing effort for nuclear disarmament. Kevin also contributes articles to major media, such as The New York Times, The Washington Post and others.
