Excellent article. How uplifting to see a person this young accomplish so much and remain strong on issues that concern us as Armenian Americans. I’ve seen her at the RI State House on many April 24th commemorations as well as flag raisings at city and town halls and our Martyrs’ Monument. The sky is the limit for Rep. Kazarian. Best wishes.
Thanks for the info.
What a beautiful person Katherine is through and through.
Her achievements, aspirations and goals are totally inspirational.
Being Jewish, I can surely sympathize with her goal for Holocaust and
genocide education in the education system. I also am bothered that Armenian genocide,
(in fact any type of genocide) was not recognized by the American government.
