Genocide in Rwanda

Hey ladies and gentlemen, 

Do you know anything about genocide?  Genocide is when a group of people is killed in order to get rid of all of the people in that group.  For example, if all African Americans were to be killed that would be considered a genocide.  
In 1994, in Rwanda, Africa, over 1 million people were killed in 100 days.

After you have some background knowledge about the genocide of Rwanda.  I want you to go to the Reach the World website and read the logbook.  Post a comment if you'd like. 

Also, if you have time, go to the Kigale Memorial Center and learn more about the Rwandan genocide.
