Pastor Carl Wilkens will be visiting Logan next Tuesday to speak to students about his experiences during the Rwandan Genocide of 1994, his recent trip back to Rwanda, and his thoughts on the genocide in Darfur. It will be Wilkens’ second visit to Logan to speak on this topic.

Pastor Wilkens was the only American who stayed in Rwanda after the American Embassy sent everybody else back home. In an interview with Frontline for the documentary, “Ghosts of Rwanda”, Carl talked about his choice to remain. He said, “This sadness just kind of came over me, because now, if people in Rwanda ever needed help […] now was the time; and everybody's leaving.”

From wikipedia
Jimmy Smith, nicknamed "The Incredible Jimmy Smith", (December 8, 1925 – February 8, 2005) was a jazz musician whose Hammond B-3 electric organ performances helped to popularize this instrument.

Born James Oscar Smith in Norristown, Pennsylvania, USA. Smith was influenced by both gospel and blues. He first achieved prominence in the 1950s when his recordings became popular on jukeboxes. In the sixties and seventies he helped create the jazz style known as 'soul jazz'.

Hear a radio tribute to Jimmy Smith, which includes a brief interview with Smith done shortly before his death and samples of his music, broadcast on the day he died as part of the show "All Things Considered," free from NPR.org.
