BOSTON, Mass.—On April 11, beginning at 10:30 a.m., the annual commemoration of the Armenian Genocide will take place at the Massachusetts State House, at the House Chamber. The keynote speaker will be attorney Mark Geragos. A joint resolution will be given to architect Donald Tellalian, who designed the abstract sculpture at the Armenian Heritage Park.
In addition, Anahis Kechejian will help lead young people remembering their ancestors, as part of “Stand Up for Your Survivor.” Children from St. Stephen’s Armenian Elementary School and the Armenian Sisters’ Academy will sing “America the Beautiful” and the Armenian national anthem.
The program will end at 11:30 a.m., followed by a reception in the Great Hall.

This is an important event and should always be supported. I am wondering why we don’t have an event at the Heritage Park Genocide Memorial after the State House. We must utilize this wonderful resource.
