Hiroshima Day and Sapphires

[heliopausa]

Hiroshima Day, and I rang an old friend who has been staunch in commemorations and in activism against nuclear arms for decades, and then spent the evening watching The Sapphires, because I'd read this morning a call from Sol Bellear of the Redfern Aboriginal Medical Service deploring the recent DVD release with a cover which reduced the Sapphires themselves to background status (http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/sapphires-protest-racist-cover-20130804-2r7m7.html), and because all the struggles link in eventually.

(My copy has the original cover. :) )
