Hiroshima Peace Declaration 2007: Aim for a Nuclear Weapon-Free World

Hiroshima Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba gave the city's 2007 Peace Declaration early Monday morning, the 62nd anniversary of the world's first nuclear attack. An English translation of Akiba's declaration is reproduced in full below:

That fateful summer, 8:15. The roar of a B-29 breaks the morning calm. A parachute opens in the blue sky. Then suddenly, a flash, an enormous blast -- silence -- hell on Earth.
