The Genocide Awareness Project was on campus at Miami University on April 12 and 13, 2000.

Our location between the Washington State University library and student union guaranteed immense crowds. The pro-aborts kept their distance to avoid helping us draw a crowd, but the crowds came anyway. Many students lingered to look and listen in spite of cold, wet weather. We were impressed that the vast majority of muU students ignored cowardly faculty urging that they ignore GAP.
The administration at muU was refreshingly professional and matter-of-fact in handling our presence. GAP forever changes the way students respond to the word abortion. Most students had never seen so dramatic an exercise of First Amendment rights. To a visual culture, horrifying pictures are the only way to teach about a horrifying phenomenon.
CBR Executive Director Gregg Cunningham (far right) addresses an ever growing crowd of students. The police on each side of the group helped ensure that nothing but words were exchanged in this heated but civil debate. This student slipped out of the crowd to quietly read CBR's brochure "Why Abortion is Genocide". Though the pro-aborts at left tried to distract students from considering our exhibit, their presence did little to that end and only exposed their unwillingness to actually discuss the issue at hand. This professor was particularly enraged that we would compare abortion to other crimes against humanity. Unlike most of the students who approached, he was unwilling to listen to the rationale we offered.
As our time at MU wore on, many of the discussions which began around CBR staff and volunteers moved out into the crowd where students had a chance to discuss abortion amongst themselves. Towards the end of our first day, three of our African-American volunteers took time to share with one of the more vocal abortion-advocates. At various times during our visit to MU the sidewalk around the display became so filled with students that it became quite impossible to simply walk by. CBR staff member Michael Spielman listens as an adopted student and a physically handicapped student share their views. Both of these women would have been prime targets for abortion, thankfully their mothers chose life.
