Are you aware that Oakland-bred soul singer, Goapele, will be in Wheeler Auditorium tonight (for free)? Well, she is, and it’s all to promote the awareness of genocide in Darfur in a way that doesn’t involve hounding people with fliers on Sproul Plaza. ‘Cause you know, the infamously more aggressive college student approach to saving the world tends to turn people off.

DJ Fuze and famed Bay Area hip-hop group, Zion-I, will also be at the show to promote human rights, which is part of Don Cheadle’s Darfur Now College Tour. The concert starts at 8:30 p.m. And, no, Don Cheadle will not be present.

Today is also the Armenian Genocide Day of Remembrance. Head over to Memorial Glade for a glance at the Armenian Student Association’s genocide memorial, which won Best UC Berkeley Student Event in 2007 and commemorates the millions affected by human rights abuses.
