FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) —
A flower with special meaning has been planted honoring the history
of Japanese and Armenian Americans. Forget-me-nots were planted in
the garden of Holy Trinity Armenian Church by students and members
of the church.

Thursday was declared a day of remembrance commemorating the centennial
of the Armenian genocide, as well as honoring Japanese Americans who
went through evacuations and internment. The church pastor says it’s
important for young people to know what happened as well as everyone
in the Central Valley.

Dozens of upcoming events will commemorate the centennial. For a full
list of locations and links, head to the Armenian Genocide Centennial –
Fresno Committee online.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
