NEW YORK - Survivors of the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki marched through New York on Sunday, chanting "No more Hiroshimas, no more Nagasakis" and calling for the abolition of nuclear weapons, ahead of a major nuclear disarmament conference in the city.
Before the procession, Japanese survivors of the atomic bombings, also known as hibakusha, were joined by U.S. peace activists and others in front of the New York Public Library in singing the Japanese anti-atomic bomb song "Genbaku o Yurusumaji."
