Today is the 27th anniversary of the murder of political activist Archbishop Oscar Romero in El Salvador. Archbishop Romero was a staunch advocate of human rights especially for the impoverished farmers and peasants of his country. He was murdered by members of the Salvadoran military; a military that was heavily financed by the United States at the time. The US could not have been unaware of, and possibly was complicit it, the pattern of oppression and abuse that the military was responsible for.
