Remembering Rwanda
We honor the lives lost during and the courageous survivors of the Rwandan Genocide with Remembering Rwanda. Featuring the work of Sister Marie-Christine Williams, "The Dark Side of Human Nature," we take you through the political and cultural events leading up to April 1994, explore the stories of survivors, and close with lessons learned in retrospect. Our selections view the genocide through the Benedictine lenses of Faith and Justice, giving voice to the victims and encouraging resistance to apathy.
Sister Marie-Christine Williams will be speaking on Wednesday, March 25, 2026 at 6pm in the McCready Event Space.Learn more about this and other Women's History Month events.
