This year is the 100th anniversary of the start of the Armenian
Genocide, and the Reedley Museum has a display to commemorate the
tragedy.
The exhibit is at the museum through May 9. It's a small display but
provides information about the Armenian people. It was put together
by volunteers Adrienne Chakerian and Virginia Amador.
The exhibit includes a delicate robe that typically would be worn in
an Armenian bathhouse and an intricately designed doily created with
needle and thread.
Also on display are photographs of Armenian churches and a program
from 1954 for the St. Sahan-St. Mesrob Reedley Armenian Church,
at 13th and F streets.
There also is some information about the Armenian Genocide that
happened between 1915 and 1923 during the Ottoman Empire in the region
that became Turkey, leaving "1.5 million Armenians dead and millions
more displaced," as included in a joint statement from Central Valley
congressmen, such as Rep. Devin Nunes.
