Here's a couple of shots I took of the Die-in for Darfur at UNF. This "Die-in" is a form of expression where the people lying on the floor visually represent the casualties in Darfur, bringing awareness to the lives lost through complacency and inaction.
Project peace hosted this event, and their group profile mentions, "As the world stands by, 330 people are killed every day in Darfur region of Africa's largest country, Sudan. Although the US government has declared this a genocide, the massacres are still ongoing. To date, as many as 400,000 have been killed and over 2.5 million have been displaced."
What a visually arresting and effectively thought provoking display.
