Memory and Legacy

     The Congolese Genocide was an event that took many years to unearth.  King Leopold, ruler of Belgium, ruled with an iron fist, and corrupted anyone who attempted to reveal what he was doing.  With his power, he was able to control what was reported on the subject and made him look completely innocent.  In addition, people where afraid to oppose him.  If they were to figure out what was happening, they would be arrested or even killed.
