Oscar Romero: 30 years today

I'm quite sure that Tim's El Salvador Blog won't mind me using the photo he put on his site today.

Tim has been closely covering the commemorations of Archbishop Romero's assassination all week. TESB is the go-to site for El Salvador issues.

Archbishop Oscar Romero and Luis Espinal

Next Wednesday is the 30th anniversary of the assassination of Oscar Romero. Tim's El Salvador blog (where else?) has a full rundown on what to expect from the planned commemorations of the date. Tim also provides a link through to Jon Stewart's Daily Show segment on Romero (which is wonderful as usual).

Know your history, or be condemned to repeat it. Your choice.


UPDATE: Duderino over at Abiding reminds us of a very similar case in Bolivia and the 30th anniversary memorials for Luis Espinal that happened today.
