I want to pose a moment of silence along with a select article in today’s post. Yesterday, April 24, is the one hundred year anniversary of the start of the Armenian genocide, which claimed the lives of 1.5 million people, many of whom were Christians, in Armenia. The Federalist offers a thorough overview of what happened at this event that our history books often neglect.
