FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) --
A flower with special meaning has been planted honoring the history
of Japanese and Armenian Americans. Forget-me-nots were planted in
the garden of Holy Trinity Armenian Church by students and members
of the church.
Thursday was declared a day of remembrance commemorating the centennial
of the Armenian genocide, as well as honoring Japanese Americans who
went through evacuations and internment. The church pastor says it's
important for young people to know what happened as well as everyone
in the Central Valley.
Dozens of upcoming events will commemorate the centennial. For a full
list of locations and links, head to the Armenian Genocide Centennial -
