Rally for Justice

April 24, 1 PM
Turkish Consulate

As you know, our General Assembly has recognized the Armenian Genocide as worthy of annual remembrance and commemoration. April 24 is the date set in our church-wide calendar for this purpose. I have included for your use a flyer now being distributed to all interested people in this regard, inviting them to take part in person in the big rally to take place on Sunday, April 24, at 1:00 PM in front of the Turkish Embassy, at the intersection of Wilshire Blvd and Crescent Heights, in Los Angeles.

I am also including for you a special hymn written by our own PC(USA) David Gambrill, for this express purpose, for congregational singing. We have done so at our Tustin Presbyterian Church. It is very moving and easy for all to sing.

Rev. V. "Kass" Kassouni
