- Naoko Wake, professor of History at Michigan State University, delivers a talk entitled "Hibakusha in cold war America: the working lives of Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors."

She answers questions from the audience. The event is convened by professor John P. Beck from the Michigan State University School of Human Resources and Labor Relations.
