TO D.C. ON FOOT

Georgetown University The Georgetown Voice, DC
Nov 16 2006

Georgetown’s STAND and Armenian Student organization joined George
Washington University students Nov. 5 to welcome six Armenian-American
students who walked from Los Angeles to D.C. to call attention to
the genocide in Darfur.

The students’ march began on June 27 and ended Nov. 1. After their
arrival at GW, the University hosted a discussion forum on genocide
with Journey for Humanity, the genocide-awareness organization that
sponsored the students.

"Walking is symbolic of genocide," Edward Majian, one of the marchers,
told the GW Hatchet. "We are walking in an attempt to be in solidarity
with those people," he said, referring to Darfur victims as well as
those of past genocides.

On its web site, Journey for Humanity kept an online report and
diary of the six students, in which they reflected not only on Darfur
genocide but on the more obscure Armenian genocide of 1915-1923.
