Wednesday, March 18, 2009 (7:00pm - 9:00pm,112 Walker Building, University Park)- Carl Wilkens: Eyewitness to Genocide, The World Outside My Shoes
The only American to choose to stay in Rwanda after the genocide began in April 1994, Carl Wilkens prevented the massacre of hundreds of children and many adults over the course of the genocide. Featured in Frontline’s Ghosts of Rwanda and The Few Who Stayed: Defying Genocide, an American Radio Works documentary that aired on NPR, Wilkens’ story reminds us of the profound connection between history and the moral choices we face each day.

The continuing genocide in Darfur Sudan has prompted Wilkens’ multi-city tour in which he asks the questions that challenge audiences to see the human faces of genocide and explores the question: “What can we do today to stop the genocide in Darfur Sudan?”
