Philadelphians Mark 1915 Armenian Genocide and Ongoing Displacement

Hundreds of Philadelphia-based Armenians recently gathered outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art for the Armenian Genocide Walk, commemorating the 109th anniversary of the 1915 Armenian genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Empire. While the sensation of mourning and honoring the dead was clear, there was also a widely acknowledged understanding that Armenia’s struggle against genocide is not just history, but an ongoing reality.
