UN Sec. General Ban Ki-Moon, Hiroshima Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba, and Socorro Gomes, World Peace Council President, at Int'l Conf. for a Nuclear-Free, Peaceful, Just, and Sustainable World May 1, 2010 at The Riverside Church. Introduction by Rev. Dr. Arnold I. Thomas, Minister with Education, Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations at The Riverside Church. The Conference in New York City April 30 and May 1 was aimed at the upcoming Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference at the UN May 3-28, where the US has yet to honor its treaty obligation requiring good faith effort to reduce its arsenal of nuclear weapons . Only the English translation of Gomes' talk in Portuguese is presented, and there's some editing of the other talks for a cablecast requirement of 58 minutes. Tetsu Ktagawa's musical presentation is edited to only a brief  "We Shall Overcome" with the audience of 1600 at the conclusion of the conference. Camera, edit: Joe Friendly
