JOURNEY FOR GENOCIDES ENDED IN THE U. S.

A group of Armenian-American activists walking 3,000 miles cross-country to raise awareness of the Armenian Genocide and other crimes against humanity concluded their march last week
in Washington, DC.

According to the information DE FACTO got at the Armenian Assembly of America (AAA), the Journey for Humanity walk had begun four months ago in Los Angeles, CA with the support of the AAA. Since then, the marchers crossed a dozen states and held rallies in several major cities to promote the mission of the Journey, honor the victims and survivors of all genocidal acts and advance the cause of genocide prevention.

In Washington, the Armenian Student Network of George Washington University and others hosted a discussion on genocide in today's world featuring the Journey for Humanity team and Sam Bell and Mark Hanis of the Genocide Intervention Network. The event was held on Sunday, November 5 at 3:00 pm at the Marvin Center, Continental Ballroom at George Washington University.
