Description
Check out this video to watch the Genocide Against Tutsi in Rwanda and Hutu in Burundi.
With survivor lenses, Jeanine will analyze the deeply painful chapters in the histories of Burundi and Rwanda. Armed with the divide and conquer principle, the Belgian colonial administration played a far-reaching role in subsequent Hutu/Tutsi genocides. Rwanda, unlike Burundi, has promoted and supported public and collective memorialization.
The World Issues Forum series is free and open to the public. Talks are held at 12:00pm in Fairhaven College Auditorium. The Fairhaven Auditorium is on the top floor of the Fairhaven College main building to the rear (east) side. If you enter from the west entrance (halfway between the second and third floor facing parking lot 12A), take the half-flight of stairs to the left and continue to east side of the building from there. You'll see the door to the auditorium a little to your left.
Join us at WWU or online on Zoom!
World Forum Issues updates are available online.
