Google Hangout: The Manhattan Project: Our Next National Park?

Cindy Kelly with Denise Kiernan and Rosemary Lane, one of the women featured in Kiernan's book.

On June 11, AHF President Cindy Kelly joined The Girls of Atomic City bestselling author Denise Kiernan and National Parks Conservation Association Senior Vice President of Policy Ron Tipton in a Google Hangout On Air. The topic was “The Manhattan Project: Our Next National Park?”

The panel discussed the history of the Manhattan Project; the thousands of people who worked at the sites under much secrecy and mystery; and how the public can support efforts to protect these important places for future generations. They discussed the legislation to establish a Manhattan Project National Historical Park; the sites that will be included in the park as well as possible affiliated sites; and more.
