3. Very important traveling exhibit...

Back around 1970 Japan sent an exhibit of Atomic bomb artifacts, and photos to travel around the US. NYC was one of it's first stops. I was already aware of the effects, but seeing big photos, and items was very sobering.

(It'd be particularly like young people since the 2010's seeing photos, and artifacts of 9-11 in the memorial museum.)

Controversial - It made me think even more so; feeling if we were going to use it; use it first on an uninhabited near by island to show it's destructive power.
Jmho.
