Billboard messages promote peace
April 6, 2006
by: Christina Pazzanese
Two colorful billboards loom large over Mt. Auburn and Arsenal streets in Watertown with a simple message: ''Join US: Recognize the Armenian Genocide." Artist Daniel Varoujan Hejinian, the son of genocide survivors and a former Watertown resident, said he put them up in March through his nonprofit entity, Peace of Art, to ''promote peace and awareness" and to remind people of the Armenian Genocide of 1915.
Hejinian has been behind similar signs displayed around town since 1996.
The billboards will come down after a State House ceremony marking the 91st anniversary of the genocide on April 21.
