                       Of the
 Confederation of Aboriginal and Black People of Honduras
                      (CONPAH)

                     to speak on:
      “Central America's Struggle for Human Rights:
       Stories Our Media Would Rather Not Tell"

                       At the
              Channing - Murray Foundation
          Oregon and Matthews Streets, Urbana
           7:00 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 29, 2004

The people most adversely affected by the proposed Free Trade Area of the
Americas are the indigenous people.  Through his work with CONPAH,
Mr. Euceda has worked as advocate for the eight indigenous and black
groups of Honduras in their increasingly desperate and deadly struggles to
preserve their livelihoods, languages and cultures.  He will tell about
the rise of awareness and grassroots efforts that have developed in
Honduras.

He has a strong interest in using radio stations to help maintain
the peoples' way of life.  In addition to CONPAH, Mr. Euceda
has worked with a women's advocacy organization
and has facilitated Pastors for Peace caravans to Honduras.

The talk will be given in Spanish with English translation.
There will be refreshments and an opportunity to talk informally with Mr.
Euceda after his presentation.  This event is sponsored by:
The Channing-Murray Foundation (344-1176) and
The Primary Communications Project (217-762-9561)
