Several thousand Americans, led by religious leaders, entertainers and politicians, marched on Sunday to urge the government to halt "genocide" in Sudan's Darfur region.
"Darfur deserves to live. We are its only hope," Nobel Peace Prize winner and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel told the crowd that converged on the National Mall in Washington, near the Capitol. Other speakers at the rally included Washington's Roman Catholic Archbishop Theodore McCarrick, Illinois Democratic Sen. Barak Obama and actor George Clooney [another good ole Kentuckian], who visited Darfur last week.
