WATERTOWN, Mass.—On Sunday April 27, the Armenian Museum of America will present a joint commemoration of the Armenian Genocide, the Tibetan Genocide, and the Genocide in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
As it has been our custom in recent years, each April, we commemorate with other victim groups. Armenian-Americans understandably focus each April on commemorating the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian Genocide provided a blueprint for all too many Genocides in the 20th century. Sadly, Genocides continue; only the victims change, and we must share and remember their pain as well.
This year’s joint commemoration will feature talks by Tenzin Dorjee, former executive director of Students for a Free Tibet, Anthony Kasongo, executive director of Congolese Genocide Awareness, Inc., and Khatchig Mouradian, editor of the Armenian Weekly. Photographic exhibitions on Tibet and Congo, and our Museum’s Traveling Armenian Genocide Exhibit will be on display in the 3rd floor galleries. The Museum’s permanent Armenian Genocide exhibition is on display on the 2nd floor.
Date and time: Sunday, April 27th at 2:00PM
Location: The Armenian Museum of America, 65 Main St, Watertown, MA 02472 (3rd Floor Gallery)
Admission: Free and open to the public
