But no other time in modern history has there been an attempt to bring ordinary men and women  to account for their crimes contributing to genocide. The people of Rwanda took on this challenge because they believed accountability was crucial to building lasting peace and authentic healing. Over the course of 10 years, using more than 12,000 Community Based Courts they presided over more than 1.9 million cases. There was a belief that if ordinary people could play key rolls in the acts of genocide, ordinary people could also play key roles in the healing journey afterwards.Several brief snapshots of the 1994 Rwandan genocide against the TutsiCarl Wilkens2024-08-08 | ...Kids helping me clean water barrels during the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in RwandaCarl Wilkens2023-05-25 | ...World Outside My Shoes homepageCarl Wilkens2023-01-08 | ...Damas thank youCarl Wilkens2022-05-02 | ...Update on Damas storyCarl Wilkens2022-05-02 | ...Hampton studentsCarl Wilkens2022-01-24 | ...RWBA Student reading group questionsCarl Wilkens2022-01-15 | ...A Hope-Based Process For Addressing Division. -Carl Wilkens2021-08-21 | Stories from Rwanda to launch conversations on rebuilding trustThe Roots of Radical Kindness : Respect-Empathy-InclusionCarl Wilkens2020-11-24 | ...Patriotic Empathy- our response to polarization in AmericaCarl Wilkens2020-10-26 | Thanks so much for watching!
