Salvadorans remember Romero
Add to Cart Add to Lightbox DownloadOn the streets of their nation's capital of San Salvador, residents of the small Central American nation of El Salvador remember Oscar Romero, the Roman Catholic archbishop of San Salvador who was murdered in 1980 by a government-sanctioned death squad. That remembrance takes a variety of forms, including shirts with his image which are here sold in a public park. The image of Romero, a conservative prelate who slowly took the side of the poor despite repeated threats from the U.S.-backed military, has grown more ubiqitious here than even that legendary shot of Ernesto "Che" Guevarra's face.
