While it's likely most people on campus have already heard about Francisco Goldman's upcoming talk, here's another reminder.
Writer/novelist Francisco Goldman
THE ART OF POLITICAL MURDER
Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2009
4 p.m.
Wyatt Hall, Room 109
Free
A triumphant tale of justice belatedly served in a country where the concept had lost all meaning, of institutional evil unmasked in a place where it had long operated behind a thousand disguises, of plodding police work and personal courage overcoming a culture of impunity and fear.
About the Lecture
Goldman will discuss the assassination of a Guatemalan bishop Msgr. Juan Gerardi, whose bludgeoned body was found just days after he and a team of human rights investigators announced the publication of a 1,400-page report blaming Guatemala’s security forces for a 30-year reign of murder, torture, massacres, and disappearances.
