The Board of Los Angeles unanimously approved two motions brought forward in support of Armenian communities. Supervisor Kathryn Barger writes about it on her Facebook page.
According to one of the motions, coauthored by Supervisor Hilda Solis April 24 is recognized as the Day of Remembrance in solemn recognition of the Armenian Genocide, and the second with Supervisor Janice Hahn declares April as Armenian History Month.
“Los Angeles County is strengthened by the tremendous contributions of Armenians. I value the voice of our Armenian residents and will continue to shine a light on their history, accomplishments, and priorities,” Barger writes.
