## Caption

Something often omitted from conversations about the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, is what average Americans at the time thought about them. That's by design. Enter William Leonard Lawrence, a journalist hired by the US government and tasked to set the national narrative around nuclear bombs (hint: nothing bad to see here) before the general public understood the topic well enough to set its own.  #pbs #learnontiktok #hiroshima #worldwar2 #history
