“We were not old enough to have our voices make a difference during the Rwandan genocide, but Darfur is occurring on our watch,” said Rebecca Hamilton, a 1L and a co-founder of the Darfur Action Group. “This week of events will put the power of the Harvard name to good use, by placing a spotlight on the ongoing atrocities.”
The weeklong series coincides with the international commemoration of the 11th anniversary of the Rwandan genocides. The Carr Center for Human Rights Policy and the Human Rights Program at HLS co-sponsored the events. For more information please visit the Darfur Action Group website.
