Day: May 16, 2008

“Palestine: 60 Years of Forced Exile – Time for Return!” was the guiding theme of the Sixth Annual International Al-Awda Convention on May 16-18, 2008 in Anaheim California. Thirty organizations and many individuals came together to host this historic event. Well over 1000 Palestinians and their supporters converged from various parts of the US, Canada, Europe, and Palestine. The largest Al-Awda convention in the US to date marked the 60th year of the Nakba and reaffirmed its unity, commitment and dedication to the struggle to Return.
