"A Walk to Remember" is a symbolic event to honor the memory of the 1.5
million victims of the first genocide perpetrated against humanity,
a crime that remains unrecognized and subsequently unpunished, and
people who are yet to find justice.

Armenian Church located at 2215 East Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena
and will be bussed to the City Hall where the silent march will begin.
After the silent march and at the same church grounds, the official
