[Peace] Central American Human Rights talk Thursday at Channing-Murray

[xx856 at prairienet.org]

Carlos Euceda of the Confederation of Aboriginal and Black People of
Honduras (CONPAH) will speak Thursday, Jan. 29, at 7 p.m., on the topic
of "Central America's Struggle for Human Rights: Stories our Media Would
Rather Not Tell." The event will take place at the Channing-Murray
Foundation, 1209 W. Oregon, Urbana. The event is free and open to the
public.

The people most adversely affected by the proposed Free Trade of the
Americas are the indigenous people. Through his work with CONPAH, Mr.
Euceda has worked as an 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.

The talk will be given in Spanish with English translation. The event is
sponsored by the Channing-Murray Foundation (344-1176) and the Primary
Communications Project (217-762-9561).
