Guest Speaker:  Honorable Mathilde Mukantabana, Professor and Ambassador of the Republic of Rwanda to the United States of America, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina.

Every year we remember the loved ones that were killed in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda:  Over 1 million innocent lives were lost in 100 days.

We celebrate their lives by remembering them.  We remember and honor them and cherish memories and times we spent together.  We remember their kindness, laughter, valuable lessons, and values they taught us.

We must continue to unite and work together by supporting and healing the wounds of survivors, and building a Better, Inclusive, Equitable, and Resilient Society.
