ABOUT MELINDAA journalist and teacher by trade, Melinda Clarke is an accidental activist who began marching to her own tune after the Three Mile Island incident in 1979. Having lived in Japan in 1964, she had a calling to move back in the 1980s and began recording the Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors’ stories. Her worldview shifted and it wasn’t long before she became a passionate advocate for peace. Ms. Clarke inspires others to live a life of peace and purpose and recently walked the Shikoku Pilgrimage (900 miles). Her series of talks “Journey Toward Peace” touch upon her A-bomb survivor interviews and what we as everyday citizens can do to promote peace and end war.

Q. HOW DO YOU FIGHT AGAINST WAR?
A. You don’t. “Resist Not Evil” (Bible). Instead, you build the peace. Instead of building Nuclear Weapons we need to build a culture that requires and accepts responsibility for building rather than destroying.
Building friends rather than destroying enemies.
