MARK ROBERT SCHNEIDER
"Joe Moakley's Journey from South Boston to El Salvador"

In November 1989 in El Salvador, six Jesuit priests and their two female
housekeepers were rousted from their beds and shot as they lay face down on
the ground. At first, the Bush administration echoed the Salvadoran military
's line that the rebels must have done it. When House Speaker Tom Foley
tasked a senior congressman with investigating the murders, the people of El
Salvador found an unlikely champion in the person of John Joseph Moakley,
representative from South Boston.

Mark Robert Schneider teaches World History at Suffolk University and
Bridgewater State College in the Boston area. He is the author of We Return
Fighting: The Civil Rights Movement in the Jazz Age, which was a finalist
for three prestigious prizes in history.

Music by CommUnity Voices.
