Genocide: "The systematic planned extermination of an entire
national, racial, political, or ethnic group."
"It is easy to get lost in the numbers of the dead and displaced in
Darfur.
It is easy to forget that the victims of the genocide are more than
just statistics. The hundreds of thousands of people that have died
have all left behind mothers, fathers, sons and daughters to mourn
their loss.
Voices from Darfur is a national speaking tour that will highlight
personal stories of the lucky few who escaped the ongoing crisis.
Darfuri refugees will travel across the U.S. to share their
experiences and help us understand the true magnitude of the carnage,
not just in terms of numbers, but also in terms of the physical and
emotional anguish it has caused for its victims." (www.savedarfur.org)
Please join the NAACP and GWSTAND for this rare event. Hear personal
accounts of the genocide in Darfur and come see how you can be
instrumental in ending this ongoing crisis. Perhaps YOU may even
become a voice for Darfur.
