Many of the images used in this exhibit come from a variety of collections in Loyola University’s Archives and Special Collections. Students in Prof. Berger’s Cold War in the Americas class first worked with these materials in an exhibit "Voices in Solidarity with El Salvador: Campus Activism in the 1980s" completed in Fall 2013.* The Museo de la Palabra y Imagen in San Salvador, El Salvador generously gave us permission to use photographs from their online collection. Daria Taylor, senior International Film and Media Studies, edited the tapes. Prof. Miguel Díaz, John Courtney Murray University Chair in Public Service, contributed the section on Liberation Theology. A special thanks to the folks in University Marketing and Communications, especially Drew Sottardi, who indulged and made possible our idea to develop an interactive feature for Loyola’s Martrys Memorial.

 

*Students who worked on this project included: Albert Salatka, Melanie Zagorski, Juan Basadre, Ulysses Hernandez, Paige Borrelli, Austin Quinn, Nathan Anderson, Angie D’Souza, Evan Johnson, Miguel Lopez-Campos, and Caitlin Strange.
