Celebrations in New York and Los Angeles Mark Completion of Integration of Armenian Film Foundation Testimonies
USC Shoah Foundation on Monday Mar. 27 and on Friday Mar. 31 celebrated the completion of a years-long endeavor to integrate hundreds of testimonies from the Armenian Genocide into the Visual History Archive.
Andres Ruiz and Francesca Hill
They started in October – making the trip to USC Shoah Foundation’s home at USC’s Leavey Library once a month, every month to meet, either virtually or physically, and study what attitudes breed hatred and intolerance, how they can spread positive moral authority and how to use the weight of testimony from the Visual History Archive to become active participants in civil society.
Stereotyping and Perspective
As a young Latino, store employees pretending to be doing a job as they watch me shop is almost expected. The feeling of walking into a Walgreens and an employee looking daggers into you, as if you are guilty just for being who you are never gets old.
