The City of Atlanta hosted the fourth international Rwanda Day on September 20, 2014. Rwanda Day celebrations were held in Chicago in 2011, Boston and London in 2012, and Toronto in 2013.

Bruce Dixon, Atlanta resident and managing editor of the Black Agenda Report, attended the protest.

Envoy Mary Robinson, to sign an agreement with M23.
