Be a Messenger of Peace
With these words, 12-year-old Sadako Sasaki wrote her legacy and opened new avenues in the quest for peace in the world. You are invited to share in this legacy by writing your message of peace and folding it into a paper crane and sharing it with others at the Hiroshima Peace Day event on Wednesday, August 6 at the Northfield Public Library from 5 to 6:45 p.m. Sadako was two years old when she was exposed to radiation during the bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. This exposure led to leukemia which was diagnosed ten years later. She began to fold origami paper cranes after her friend reminded her of the legend about folding a thousand paper cranes in order to live to be very old. Start: 7:00 pm
