"un pueblo con hambre es un pueblo sin paz..."

Day 1 and 2 in Nicaragua
what is Solidarity...what is nonviolence?, questions that were asked to this delegation as we embarked on learning about this country's storied history and fragile present as well as site visit around the city of Managua. We thought about the question asked and realized after much deliberation that both words have evolving meaning and a sliding scale of acceptable meanings. Nonviolence for instance could be interrupted as I suggested would be the strict adherance to the law while in pursuit of progressive ways to fight for justice...., but in the context of Nicaragua, how about of the laws created were inherently unjust and the "system" created never allowed you to be a winner, but a peg in a growing machine of inequality and injustice. Yesterday we visited a community cultural center that had a visual time line of the country's history, and in part of the mural there was the quote from a Nicaraguan nobel peace prize winner that said, "un pueblo con hambre es un pueblo sin paz...", when theres hungry there will be no peace...
peace and hoodlove
