"To open ourselves to the truth and to bring ourselves
face to face with our personal and collective reality
is not an option that can be accepted or rejected.
It is an undeniable requirement of all people and all
societies that seek to humanize themselves and be free.."

- Guatemalan Bishop Juan Jose Gerardi Conedera
Assassinated April 25, 1998, one day after his speech (and above quote),
when he presented his findings of an in-depth probe into a campaign of
terror against the people of Guatemala waged by their own government.
