Unified Young Armenians are leading their annual ARMENIAN GENOCIDE COMMEMORATION EVENT in Little Armenia (East Hollywood) on Wednesday morning.

The March for Justice, as for the past 19 years, will begin at 10:00 am at the Armenian Genocide Martyr’s Square at the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Western Avenue.
