The anniversary of such an historic and haunting event provides a unique opportunity to educate the Skidmore and local communities about the lethal effects of racial, religious, political, and other forms of prejudice in this country and abroad, in history and in our time. Racism and genocide may be best understood by studying and exposing their roots and by placing their origins and effects in a broader framework of analysis.
Education is key to combating racism and to avoiding genocide.
The group will sponsor a variety of activities through such media as guest lectures, art and performing arts, film, photography and readings.
