Super proud to be a Wilmington Quaker right now. No student should have their academic record ruined because of protesting in the name of peace and safety.

Lily Beane is an intern at the center this spring. Her focus is on creating a database of all social studies teachers in Clinton County as well as the surrounding counties. The goal for this database is to reach out to the local teachers and spread word of the digital archives on Nuclear Disarmament. #wilmingtoncollege #WeAreDubC #dubcpeace #wcpeaceresourcecenter peaceresourcecenter

This is the recently updated conference room inside the center. This room is designed to be multifunctional. The desk can be separated into 4 smaller tables in order to work in groups. This space can be used by organizations on campus to hold meetings. It is also equipped with the proper technology for professors to hold their classes here! #wilmingtoncollege #WeAreDubC #dubcpeace #wcpeaceresourcecenter

Student Responses to the Peace Resource Center’s 40th Anniversary Conference “Justice and Peace: A Call to Local and Global Community”

On September 11th of 2015 I had the opportunity to visit the Peace Resource Center for their fortieth anniversary and take a small tour of the building. Historical information, stories, and artifacts line the walls of the small home, reminding visitors of the historical bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Japan. Many students and members of the community came to tour the building, but more notable were the Japanese visitors who came to visit and see the history of the bombings which took place in their own country many years ago. I learned that this was one of very few times nuclear weapons were used in a war, and that it took so many more lives than I ever originally thought. It is such a privilege to have this large collection of history on such a small college campus like Wilmington’s. Overall, this was a very eye-opening reminder of the history of these tragic events.

Student Responses to the Peace Resource Center’s 40th Anniversary Conference “Justice and Peace: A Call to Local and Global Community”

Event took place from 1:50 to 3:10, at “Kelly Center” in the “Mc’coy room” and it was directed by Chip Murdock and a panel of four other gentlemen. The event was called “ defining justice and peace on a global scale”. They talked about a drug court, and the drug addiction that it is a body condition. Addictive persons are not themselves because they wouldn’t do the things they do if they were not addicted to a drug. The drug court is an institution that takes care of people who are using or manufacturing drugs. They give them a choice other than going to jail, and that’s detoxification.Heroin became one of the most used drugs in Ohio because it was cheaper than the other ones and gave a faster high. Reasons of using drugs are like escaping from the reality, or depression and economic issues. And people sell drugs because of economic issues because that gets them better money than $6/hour jobs, and with that kind of job no one can keep a living. The economic justice issue is also a big issue. There are two ways how economy connects with justice, one is having money where they can invest it and people can make their choices and this is economic freedom, but it has been taken away. The other one is that people think working is a value or being social. And  it feels like an injustice when the opportunity to work is taken away. These two topics really hit me, that’s why I focused my paper on these two. In my opinion these issues connect with each other, money and drugs.

Give Back the People

By Sankichi Toge (Translated by Miyao Ohara)

Give back my father, give back my mother; Give back my elders: Give me my sons and daughters back.

Give me back myself, Give back the human race.

As long as this life lasts, this life. Give back peace That will never end.

Caption: (On the way to Michino-o from the explosion center.)  In a large house, furnitures and fixtures were blown off together by the blast towards a corner. All was quiet in this vacant house, and it looked as if deserted. A boy lay dead as if basking in the sun.
