Building of the Genocide Monument [April 2001]
The week before April 24th, the Armenian Cultural Association, along with members of the Armenian community of Austin, got together on a Saturday afternoon and built a miniature replica of the Armenian Genocide monument-Tzitzernagabert. The monument was placed out on the UT campus, in the West Mall, facing Guadalupe Street, a highly populated area during the day. Flyers were put out next to the monument, explaining the meaning behind Tzitzernagabert, as well as information about the Genocide. On the night of the 24th, the Armenian community held a candle-light service, remembering the victims of the Genocide during World War I.Pictures:
