LOS ANGELES () — Armenians across Southern California will gather Friday to mark Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, which honors the memory of more than 1 million victims.
Several community rallies, marches and commemorations are scheduled throughout Los Angeles County, including events in Glendale, Pasadena and Beverly Hills.
In 2022, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors proclaimed April as Armenian History Month. More than 200,000 Armenians live in L.A. County, making it home to the largest Armenian population outside of Armenia.
Friday’s community rallies and marches of remembrance are intended to signify a stand for dignity, justice and truth, organizers said.
In Pasadena, an event is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. at the Armenian Genocide Memorial at Pasadena Memorial Park and will feature a number of speakers. In Beverly Hills, a “March for Remembrance” community rally will start at 2 p.m. at La Cienega Park and conclude at the Turkish Consulate.
In Glendale, several community leaders will be honored during an Armenian Genocide commemoration at the Glendale Central Library beginning at 7:30 p.m.
Organizers involved in the gatherings said events like these are critical not only for remembrance but also for educating the next generation.
Schools in the Glendale Unified School District are closed Friday in observance of the holiday.
