KIM KARDASHIAN HONORS ARMENIAN GENOCIDE VICTIMS AT USC SHOAH EVENT
May 9, 2014
Kim Kardashian may pursue a number of interests that Facebookcritics
regard as frivolous, but in her defense, the Keeping Up With The
Kardashians star often lends her support to important causes. Such was
the case the other day, when the reality star attended the University
of Southern California Shoah 20th Anniversary Ambassadors For Humanity
Gala, honoring the millions of victims of the Armenian Genocide.
Every once in a while, Kim Kardashian makes a point of highlighting
herArmenian heritage. Often, she does this with the sole intent
of raising awareness of the Armenian Genocide, a horrific mass
extermination that took place nearly one hundred years ago. Last
month, Kim wrote a touching post about the tragedy, explaining that
she was incredibly proud of her "Armenian roots and that is why it
is so important for me to spread the word about the Armenian Genocide."
In hopes of accomplishing this lofty goal, Kim recently attended the
USC Shoah 20th Anniversary Ambassadors For Humanity Gala. She was in
good company, with the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, Octavia Spencer,
Bruce Springsteen and even President Obama showing up for the event.
It would be impossible for Kim to attend such an important gala
without publicizing the occasion on Twitter and Instagram. But in a
refreshing break from the usual selfie parade, the reality star posed
for a photo with an elderly attendee, explaining in the caption area,
"Honored to be at the USC SHOAH Foundation event to support Armenian
genocide testimonies. I'm sitting next to the most inspiring 100 year
old Armenian genocide survivor."
