today is Revolution Day. yesterday i got the downlow from my lovely friends at the health center here in Almolonga. it was 1944, the height of a military oligarchy in Guatemala. the gap between the rich and poor was widening. there were few landowners. epitomy of 'working for the man'. enter a group of young soldiers willing to stand up and take on said man for workers' rights, for agrarian reform, for a voice.
the bummer? not much has changed since 1944. but we can dream.
need some inspiration? look no further.
