Anti-Nuclear Demonstrators Pass Through Mountains
KENTUCKY...
You may think a country road in the mountains of eastern Kentucky is an unlikely place for a nuclear demonstration, but on Tuesday morning there they were. Protestors marching in the cold morning air, on their way from Tennessee to New York City, and the route took them through Ivel in Floyd County. With the sound of drums and banner waving in the breeze they made quite a sight on US23. The group, known as Footprints for Peace, started walking at the V-12 Nuclear Weapons Facility in Oak Ridge, Tenn. on Feb. 13. The group hopes to arrive in New York on May 1. According to information provided by Footprints for Peace, the group hopes to raise awareness about alternative energy and sustainable lifestyles while exposing the effects of the nuclear industry. The walk is open to all those who wish to join.
