DESCRIPTION:During the Civil War from 1980-1992 Carlos Henriquez Consalvi, aka 
 "Santiago," was the most recognized voice in El Salvador. Broadcasting on 
 the FMLN's "Radio Venceremos," his courageous tone kept people's spirits up 
 as he denounced the daily violations of human rights committed by the 
 Salvadorian military. Join us for this compelling discussion on historic 
 memory and the role of community media in El Salvador.\n\nCarlos Henriquez 
 Consalvi is the founder of Radio Venceremos and founding Director of the 
 Museo de la Palabra y la Imagen in El Salvador. Consalvi founded Radio 
 Venceremos in 1980. For the next 11 years, Santiago served as the voice of 
 the clandestine FMLN radio, broadcasting his reports with a 40-yr-old 
 transmitter that had seen service in World War II while constantly evading 
 capture by the military in the northeastern hills of the nation. \n\nRadio 
 Venceremos was one of the few sources of oppositional press in El Salvador 
 during the reign of the repressive military regime. As such, Santiago and 
 his team were among the first to report on the infamous massacre at El 
 Mozote and other atrocities commited by government troops, played a major 
 role in recruiting campesino support for the rebel cause, and provided 
 popular education about socialist ideals and Salvadoran history. Radio 
 Venceremos was also used to assist in military operations. After the war 
 ended in a negotiated peace settlement in 1992, Consalvi turned his 
 attention to documenting the history of El Salvador, because he felt that 
 so much of the historical record had been lost during the war. He founded 
 El Museo de la Palabra y la Imagen, has collected an impressive collection 
 of archival information, and has produced several documentary films.\n
