Nov 6 2006

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. Representatives the Save
Darfur coalition, the American Islamic Congress, Citizens for Global
Solutions and the Genocide Intervention Network were also on hand.
