High School students of Armenian descent, in conjunction with
the school's senior class and sophomores enrolled in Honors
World History, created their own "museum of tolerance" on
the Burbank campus in late April to promote awareness of acts
of genocide throughout the 20th and 21th centuries. The museum
featured interactive learning stations as well as historical
propaganda posters.
The
museum was one of several events and cultural teaching opportunities
planned for the week following Armenian Genocide Memorial
Day on April 24. On April 29, the students responsible for
the museum hosted an assembly for their peers on the subject
of genocides throughout history. Glendale Board of Education
president Greg Krikorian and Armenian National Committee member
Armen Garabetyan were guest speakers at the assembly. They
discussed the Armenian genocide and its relation to other
genocides throughout history.
