DESCRIPTION:Thursday, May 7, 7:30p.m. at RCNV\nThe Unspeakable - \nA Mexican 
 Perspective with Rafael Landerreche \n\nFor over 30 years Rafael 
 Landerreche has been engaged in promoting the theory and practice of 
 nonviolence, and has spent over 16 years in Chiapas. He works with Las 
 Abejas, the nonviolent indigenous organization that was the victim of the 
 1997 Acteal Massacre.\n\n     Rafael will speak about his work with 
 indigenous communities in Chiapas, linking his experience there with 
 contemporary Mexico's institutional crisis (dramatized recently by the 
 disappearance of 43 poor college students at the hands of the government) 
 and the shadowy forces behind the scenes. He will also discuss similar 
 forces evident in U.S. foreign policy and in the assassination of political 
 leaders in this country and the essential need for North-South 
 collaboration in confronting those forces and transforming society.  
 \n\n"The Unspeakable" is a term Thomas Merton coined at the heart of the 
 sixties after JFK's assassination-in the midst of the escalating Vietnam 
 War, the nuclear arms race, and the further assassinations of Malcolm X, 
 Martin Luther King, and Robert Kennedy. In each of those soul-shaking 
 events Merton sensed an evil whose depth and deceit seemed to go beyond the 
 capacity of words to describe... When we become more deeply human, as 
 Merton understood the process, the wellspring of our compassion moves us to 
 confront the Unspeakable.\n—Jim Douglass, JFK and The Unspeakable - Why 
 He Died and Why It Matters\n\n   A sliding scale donation of $8-25 is 
 suggested. No one turned away for lack of funds. For more information, call
