About this Event
This event is hosted in collaboration with the Cambodian Association of Illinois.
Fifty years ago, the Cambodian genocide began, claiming an estimated 2 million lives and displacing countless families. Join us on April 17 for the Day of Remembrance as we honor the victims and survivors of the killing fields and uplift a half-century of community healing through cultural ceremonies, art, storytelling, and music.
