The Details
San Antonio Dream for Darfur Torch Relay (Olympic Dream for Darfur Event)
China holds unrivaled influence with the genocidal regime in Sudan. As Beijing prepares to host the 2008 Olympics, join us in urging China to use its leverage to persuade the Sudanese government to allow a civilian protection force into Darfur.
The event will begin at 11:45 with a torch lighting at the entrance to Hemisfair Park on Alamo St. There will be a short torch relay through Hemisfair Park, ending at the UTSA Institute of Texan Cultures (ITC). Join us at noon under the flags in front of the ITC where we will hear from a number of survivors of genocide and Olympian Liza Hunter-Galvan, along with Express-News columnist Cary Clack.
