Living With the Consequences --The Legacy of US Policy in Nicaragua

Enter Exhibit

(Mature audiences only. Contains images of people wounded in war.)

In his radio broadcasts shortly before his assassination, Archbishop Oscár Romero spoke out the individual names of peasants who had been murdered that week by paramilitaries and death squads. In the eyes of God, each of them was infinitely worthy of love, care and remembrance. Archbishop Romero would not let them disappear from our consciousness.  They are our bothers and sisters, and their suffering is our suffering. In the spirit of Archbishop Romero's great remembering, we bring you images of some of the people who suffered in the 1980s U.S.-funded war against the people of Nicaragua and against their hopes for a better life.
