Mechanics Hall

We were honored to host a press conference and tea at Mechanics Hall for members of Nihon Hidankyo during their visit to Worcester.

The delegation included Hibakusha — survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki — whose lifelong advocacy for peace and nuclear disarmament helped earn Nihon Hidankyo the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize.

Guests were also treated to a moving musical selection performed by Mechanics Hall’s own Christon Carney. We are grateful to have welcomed these remarkable voices of remembrance, resilience, and hope.
