The Coalition for Preserving Memory (CPM) is an organization founded by Duke students dedicated to memorializing genocide victims from the 20th and 21st centuries in a way that will be relevant and meaningful to future generations. Its goal is to achieve an unprecedented display of global citizenship and solidarity by bringing together schools and communities worldwide to read the names of 6 million genocide victims in 24 hours. Their motto: "Join us, as we remember humanity at its worst to inspire humanity at its best."
