Eyewitness to Genocide

      Erasing the Distinction of "Other"

SPEAKING TOUR

Carl Wilkens stayed.

The only American to choose to stay in Rwanda after the genocide began in April 1994, Carl Wilkens prevented the massacre of hundreds of children and many adults over the course of the genocide.

Featured in Frontline's Ghosts of Rwanda and The Few Who Stayed:  Defying Genocide, an American Radio Works documentary, Wilkens' story reminds us of the profound connection between history and the moral choices we face each day. 

His experience with the power of human relationships as the difference between life and death challenges us to explore our own biases against those we characterize as "OTHER".
