Here is a link to a video of a public forum, “Mortality, Morality and the Atom Bomb,” that took place in Arcata, California (Oct. 16, 2018 at the Arcata Playhouse).
This event was part of the Against the Wind Festival, a week-long series of events about nukes benefiting the Golden Rule Project. Becky Luening happened to be visiting Arcata that night and her friend suggested going. She saw a bunch of other VFP friends there. It was a pretty interesting conversation between people from four different disciplines/perspectives, moderated really well by Julie Fulkerson.
Panelists:
Robert M. Gould MD (health expert),
Lawrence S. Wittner PhD (historian),
Dale L. Preston PhD (biostatistician specializing in radiation),
Reweti Wiki (a Maori from New Zealand who has worked to address inequities experienced by indigenous peoples there and in the U.S.).

In 1958, Albert Bigelow, James Peck, George Willoughby, William Huntington, and Orion Sherwood set sail in the Golden Rule in an attempt to stop atmospheric nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands.
Below are the photos we have been able to gather of the Golden Rule and her original crew from the 1950s and 1960s. If you have additional historical photos of the Golden Rule we could add to the gallery, please let us know.

Since the summer of 2010, the Golden Rule Project has been hard at work restoring the Golden Rule to her former glory. This gallery gives a brief overview of the progress so far.
