Nicaragua: Surviving the legacy of U.S. policy
The Latin American and Latino Studies Program at Wake Forest University will host Paul Dix and Pam Fitzpatrick for a discussion on the effects of the U.S. policy in Nicaragua. The financial support received by Nicaragua’s rebel groups during the 1980s from the U.S. had catastrophic and lasting consequences on the country’s civilian population.
Dix, a professional photojournalist, used his camera to illustrate the effects of the United States’ international policy on the poor of Nicaragua throughout the whole of country’s Civil War. Since 2002, he has worked closely with Fitzpatrick, a professional community organizer, to reconnect with and document the stories of the dozens of people he photographed.
Dix and Fitzpatrick will discuss their journey and efforts in a lecture to take place in DeTamble Auditorium on March 22 at 7 p.m. Admission to the event is free and open to the general public. Read more
