The memory of the night the bomb was dropped is out of focus, showing the fading of firsthand memory of the event, whereas the clear images of the mourners near the river banks every year represent the memory's strength in those who will never allow it to be forgotten. Red shows the bloodshed and anger of that fateful day. || Two classes of students used a variety of digital tools to design fundraising T-shirts in response to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. They posted these for perusal by peers who voted for the "best design" to be produced for our effort. ||
