Rwandan Genocide Survivor, Advocate on Holocaust, Genocide
Clip: 9/12/2016 | 10m 16sVideo has Closed Captions
A survivor shares her story and her work to make sure it never happens again.
It was 22-years ago that the world watched in horror as more than 800,000 Rwandans were murdered in a matter of months in the Rwandan genocide. That was in 1994. Six years later, one of the survivors, a 13-year-old girl, came to live on the North Shore. Today, that survivor is an Ivy League graduate. Clemantine Wamariya joins correspondent Brandis Friedman to talk about her work and awards.
