The One Million Bones project aims to give people a tangible way to help raise awareness about genocide and help prevent it. The Albuquerque-based project asks people to craft a bone and donate 5 dollars. I was drawn to the program when it launched last year. The vision to create a display of a million bones in Washington D.C sounds a little bit gruesome but the creator is also incredibly hopeful about how empowering people to talk about genocide might lead to real change. My story on KUNM focused on how the project is being used in local classrooms.
