The Concert to End Genocide was a huge success, presented by UCLA Mighty Mic's and Participant Media's Darfur Now College Tour, this was a fun-filled evening of remembrance and dedication to ending the on-going genocide in Darfur and beyond. Grammy Award-winning OK Go, performed in addition to many others for the thousands of committed concert-goers. Raising thousands of dollars for US Doctor's for Africa (www.usdfa.org) and their new Mobile Clinic initiative, this concert marked the beginning of many more to come. 2008 is as you may or may not know, the 60th anniversary of Raphael Lempkin's 1948 Genocide Convention as well as the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, so it has never been more important to bring a renewed meaning to both of these important international documents.
