 CINCINNATI (AP) - Actor George Clooney's father, Nick, introduced an exhibit of dramatic images taken during the pair's trip to Darfur by imploring his audience to help stop the violence in the war-torn region of Sudan.
"I want your will, your effort and your determination to push for a stop to the genocide," the elder Clooney, a former TV anchorman in Cincinnati, told about 300 people at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, where the exhibit will run through July 15.
"This is 'bad stuff,' as George has said, and you can help," Clooney said, asking the crowd to write their representatives in Congress and urge them to support legislation for peacekeeping and humanitarian aid to Darfur.
