DESCRIPTION:In July 1979 the Sandinista Front for National Liberation successfully 
 carried out a revolution against the Somoza dictatorship, with mass support 
 of the people. But for the next 11 years, the U.S. government financed a 
 destructive and bloody Contra war that killed over 50,000 Nicaraguans, in 
 order to try to keep the rich oligarchy in control, and to protect U.S. 
 corporate interests. In 1990, after U.S. pressure and funding of the 
 oligarchy opposition, the FSLN lost the elections to the UNO rightwing 
 candidate Violeta Chamorro.\n \nIn 2006, after years of economic disaster 
 and high unemployment, the FSLN candidate and former president Daniel 
 Ortega, won the presidential election again.\n \nCome join a presentation 
 and Nicaraguan cultural dance and poetry, to celebrate the 1979 revolution 
 and learn about the gains and challenges facing the Nicaraguan people 
 and\nSandinista government.  \n featuring:\nCarlos Alberto Ordóñez - 
 Political secretary, No. Cal. FSLN\nNoel Corea - Organizational secretary, 
 No. Cal. FSLN\nDiana Bohn - Nicaragua Solidarity Committee 
 (NICCA)\nXochiluitl - Nicaraguan cultural dancers\nWalter "El Huracán"
