Today is the 30th anniversary of the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero, probably the single most important figure of the twentieth century in El Salvador. The occasion was marked by declaration of a day of remembrance by President Funes, dedication of a new mural at the airport, and a performance broadcast live on TV of a requiem performed by a symphonic orchestra and choral group. May the next thirty years be much more peaceful and just in this country.
