BRASILIA (AP) 19 deMarzo de 2011: La primeradama de Estados Unidos,Michelle Obama, se reunióel sábado con 50embajadores de la juventudde Brasil, asistió a unapresentación de danzaartística marcial y quedóasombrada ante un grupo detamborileras de samba en elprimero de los cinco días dela gira que efectúa su esposo,el presidente Barack Obama,por América Latina.

Michelle Obamasaludaba y sonreía a suingreso en un restaurante alaire libre bajo la sombra depalmeras. Su presenciaentusiasmó a los jóvenes,muchos de los cuales hanparticipado en un programadel Departamento de Estadonorteamericano queprograma viajes a EstadosUnidos en intercambio cul-tural.

“Bom día (Buenos días)¿Está bien así?Desafortunadamente es todolo que sé (de portugués)”,dijo la primera dama, cuyaconfesión suscitó el aplausoy la risa de los presentes.

Michelle Obama, a quienacompañaban sus hijas Sashay Malia, así como su madreMarian Robinson, reiteróante los presentes el mensajeque ha transmitido a losjóvenes en el orbe: que laeducación y el intento decomprender otras culturas esuna de las mejores curas a

SAN SALVADOR (AP) 18de Marzo de 2011: En un gestoque nadie esperaba, elpresidente de Estados Unidos,Barack Obama, visitará elmiércoles la tumba delarzobispo Monseñor OscarArnulfo Romero, asesinado en1980 por escuadrones de lamuerte de El Salvador.

La visita significaría, entérminos de políticainternacional, un nuevaposición de Washington frentea su tradicional postura deapoyar gobiernoslatinoamericanos nacidos de lasentrañas de las elites locales,según el embajadorestadounidense en El Salvadordurante la década de los 80,Robert White.

Es una “declaración de queEstados Unidos ya no seidentifica con gobiernosoligárquicos, y que el futuropertenece a la identificaciónque tuvo Romero con el puebloy contra la oligarquía”, dijoWhite que ahora es directivodel Centro para PolíticaInternacional en Washington.

“La visita de un presidentees como un sello de aprobaciónestadounidense sobre lainfluencia positiva que la viday muerte de Romero han tenidopara los latinoamericanos enparticular y al mundo en gen-eral”.

Pero la visita, que tiene unalto contenido simbólico paralos habitantes de El Salvador,generó comentarios yreacciones encontradas en elpaís, no sólo por la naturaleza dela visita sino también por elpersonaje que ofrecerá elhomenaje: el Jefe de Estado dela nación más poderosa delplaneta.

P a r aalgunos setrata delreconocimientoa la lucha delllamado “SanRomero deAmérica”, porsu respeto a losd e r e c h o shumanos enun momento crucial, cuandoEl Salvador se desangraba enuna guerra civil. Sectoresconservadores creen, por elcontrario, que la visita no tienesentido porque Romero norepresenta a todos lossalvadoreños.

“Es reconocer lo quesignificó monseñor Romeroen el campo de la defensa delos Derechos Humanos, queincluso los defendió con suvida”, dijo a la AP el obispoauxiliar capitalino, monseñorGregorio Rosa Chávez.“Honra mucho a quien lo hagatambién”.

Para la diputada LorenaPeña, ex guerrillera del FrenteFarabundo Martí para laLiberación nacional, ahoraconvertido en el partidopolítico que llevó al poder alactual presidente salvadoreñoMauricio Funes, “Es algohistórico, es unreconocimiento a nuestro pas-tor que fue asesinado porluchar por la justicia, por lademocracia y los derechoshumanos”.

No es la primera vez queun reconocimiento aMonseñor Romero generacontroversia en el país. Funes,al asumir la presidenciasalvadoreña el 1 de junio de2009, reconoció a monseñorRomero como su guía

espiritual.Luego en un

acto publico sinprecedentes, elm a n d a t a r i oreconoció laresponsabilidadhistórica delE s t a d osalvadoreño enel asesinato de

monseñor Romero y pidióperdón por el magnicidio delarzobispo.

“Dios lo ha iluminado paraque venga a visitar al mártir quemurió por un pueblo, él (Obama)va recibir la bendición demonseñor Romero y es algoprecioso que puede recibir elpresidente de los EstadosUnidos”, manifestó a la APRutilio Landaverde, unseguidor de Romero que a sus86 años sigue visitando la tumbade su guía.

“Me imagino que (Obama)está haciendo algo natural, quepodría hacer cualquierpresidente, una visita de cortesíaa alguien que se supone querepresenta en alguna medida elespíritu nacional”, dijo MarioValiente, del derechista partidoAlianza RepublicanaNacionalista (Arena), según locita el periódico El Mundo. “Lamitad de los salvadoreños no locreemos digno de unasantificación (de Romero)”.

“Debería de ir (Obama)también a la tumba del mayorRoberto D’Abuisson”, dijo eldiputado de Arena, que gobernóel país entre 1989 y 2009.

D’Aubuisson fue el autorintelectual del asesinato deRomero y fundador de losescuadrones de la muerte,responsables de cientos de

algunos de los males en elmundo.

Michelle Obama dijo queella y su esposo “siempre hancreído que el futuro de nuestrasdos naciones no dependesolamente de las relaciones en-tre los presidentes y losprimeros ministros”. Tambiénexhortó a los presentes a que“salgan de los lugares queconocen y viajen por elmundo”.

Raquel Santos Silva, de 20años, hizo precisamente esohace tres años al visitar Wash-ington en un programa deintercambio.

El viaje “fue todo un sueño,muy inspirador”, dijo Silva,estudiante de relacionesinternacionales.

“También lo es encontrarmecon Michelle Obama. Es unamujer negra firme y el lugar enel que ella se encuentra en lavida inspira a todas las mujeresnegras como yo en Brasil”,apuntó.

Brasil es una nación de 190millones de habitantes, lamitad de raza negra. Lapoblación negra esenormemente más pobre yocupa menos cargos de poderque los caucásicos. La elecciónde Barack Obama inspiró a losnegros en Brasil, queempezaron a creer que quizássus vidas podían mejorar.

Icaro Soares Alves, de 19años, de la ciudad de Manaus,conoció a Michelle Obama elaño pasado en Washingtoncuando participó en el

programa de intercambio.“Este es uno de los

momentos más importantesde mi vida, volver aencontrarla”, comentó.“Ella rompe todos losestereotipos de que elpueblo estadounidense esfrío. Con su sonrisa y abrazoes muy acogedora. Creo quedebe tener un poquito debrasileña”.

Silva y Alves provienende hogares pobres y Obamaelogió los esfuerzosextraordinarios debrasileños jóvenes comoellos para escapar la pobrezapor medio de la educación.

“Quiero que todos memiren y vean que todo esposible. Por eso estoy aquí.Por eso es que he venido ahablarles a todos ustedes,ya que no hay motivo por elcual ustedes no puedan estaraquí”, les dijo.

Después de sus brevesdeclaraciones, Obamapresenció la actuación deun grupo de capoeira, unamezcla brasileña de danza yarte marcial que incorporacantos e instrumentostradicionales. La primeradama observó con asombrolas contorsionesacrobáticas de los atletas.

A continuación unpoderoso grupo de sambacon 13 mujeres contagió detal modo a los presentes queMichelle Obama empezó ataconear al ritmo de lamúsica.

The value of agricul-tural exports rose 2.5 timesbetween 1989 and 2009,but the average hourlyearnings of U.S.farmworkers increasedonly $1.52 over the sameperiod—farmworkers havehardly benefited economi-cally from the increase inagricultural exports.

A new Economic PolicyInstitute Briefing Paper,Farm Exports and FarmLabor: Would a raise forfruit and vegetable work-ers diminish the competi-tiveness of U.S. agricul-ture?, finds that a 40 per-cent increase infarmworker earningswould only raise U.S.household spending byabout $16 a year. The re-port, by Philip Martin, aProfessor of Agriculturaland Resource Economicsat the University of Cali-fornia, Davis, also provides

Baldemar Velásquez re-leased a strong statementopposing Ohio Senate Bill5, which would “evisceratecollective bargainingrights” for employees of thestate of Ohio. Velásquez isthe president of the FarmLabor Organizing Commit-tee, AFL-CIO (FLOC), aunion representing thou-sands of migrantfarmworkers throughoutNorth Carolina and theMidwest.

Stressing the impor-tance of these basic rights,Velásquez said the billwould leave “workingpeople “powerless, with noway to affect the most basicelements of their lives.”

He notes, that while thereis a real need to address theOhio’s fiscal situation, thebill “would only make upless than three percent of thedeficit – and the cost of thesesmall gains would be borneby further marginalizationof the middle class. . . At thesame time, Ohio has refusedto consider touching the

more than $800 million intax cuts for its wealthiestcitizens and corporations.Ohio’s strategy for deficitreduction is a sham if it doesnot include stopping theseinequitable tax benefits.”

Farmworkers, a groupexcluded from the NationalLabor Relations Act, havenever had the right to col-lectively bargain and havehistorically suffered someof the worst working andliving conditions in thecountry. Pointing out thatthese two facts are not unre-lated, Velásquez said, “thedismantling of collectivebargaining for public em-ployees will be one furtherstep in marginalizing agrowing group of citizens.”

“FLOC is vehementlyopposed to this misguidedlaw as we stand in solidar-ity with our colleagues,brothers and sisters in theranks of public employ-ment, and the citizens theyserve.”

an outline of fruit, vegetableand horticultural (FVH) pro-duction in the United Statesand a discussion of the earn-ings of the immigrantfarmworkers who work onFVH farms.

Statement fromFarmworker Justice: Un-like many parts of theeconomy, labor-intensivecrops actually have a posi-tive trade balance; our pro-duce growers are not onlyselling in the United Statesbut they are also exportingto other countries.

The report shows that de-spite dramatic growth in pro-ductivity and in exports, forwhich farmworkers are partlyresponsible, farmworkershave not shared in the ben-efits. Farmworkers continueto be very poorly paid, rarelyreceiving any fringe ben-efits. The labor laws continueto discriminate against

farmworkers.There are solutions and

one of them is to payfarmworkers higher wagesand give them fringe ben-efits. Another is to more vig-orously enforce employmentlaws. As the Farmworker Jus-tice/Oxfam America report,Weeding Out Abuses (2010)showed, there are rampantviolations of the minimumwage and other rights offarmworkers even thoughagricultural employers areexempt from many labor pro-tections afforded other occu-pations’ workers.

This report shows that theimpact on consumers of sub-stantially higher wages paidto farmworkers would beminimal, and we believe mostconsumers would be willingto pay a bit more for theirfresh produce if they knewfarmworkers were beingtreated better. This reportblows away the myth that a

head of lettuce in the su-permarket will cost $3 ifwe improve farmworkers’wages, a claim we oftenhear.

Another myth is that thesmall family farmer wouldbe hurt by better treatmentof farmworkers. The real-ity is that mostfarmworkers don’t work forsmall family farms; theywork for sizeable growers. Of course this is nothingnew. Carey McWilliamswrote about the industrial-ization of agriculture in“Factories in Fields” in1939.

Dr. Aida Barrera

March 19th, 2011: Over700 attended the 18th Día dela Mujer Conference thattook place at the KelloggCenter in East Lansing,Michigan. An unforgettableday, full of workshops andeducational classes that fo-cused on education, health,politics, interpersonal rela-tionships, culture, and devel-opment, but mainly on self-empowerment for Latinas ofall ages and backgrounds.

Among other renownedwomen, the Judge PatriciaPérez Fresard was present, sheis the first Latina ever electedto the Wayne County CircuitCourt and in this positionsince 1998. The HonorableJudge was one of the present-ers for a workshop about LawCareers and Minorities. Dur-ing dinner time, Judge PérezFresard shared her story andtalked about the importanceof education.

The theme this year—Build the future with yourvoice and action—made em-phasis on the ability that ev-eryone has to create the fu-ture they want. Just visualizeit, vocalize it, and put it inaction. There is no limit forwhat everyone wants to ac-complish.

This was also the messageexpressed by Dr. AidaBarrera, who was the finalkeynote speaker. Her wordsmotivated the audience andsent away the participants af-

ANN ARBOR: The Uni-versity Musical Society(UMS) presents SeptetoNacional Ignacio Piñeiro deCuba on Thursday, April 7,2011, beginning at 8 p.m. inAnn Arbor’s Hill Auditorium(825 North University Av-enue).

For more than 80 years,Septeto Nacional IgnacioPiñeiro de Cuba has reignedsupreme as the world’s fore-most champion of Cuban son,the musical heartbeat of Cuba.With a rich history firmlyrooted in the dance floor ex-plosion of son that took placein the 1920s and ‘30s, SeptetoNacional has been hailed asthe “inventors of salsa” (TheNew York Times) and “na-tional treasures” (The BostonGlobe).

In 2009, the group touredselect cities in the UnitedStates for the first time in 76years thanks to a special “cul-tural exchange” visa arrangedwith the State Department; on

ter an exciting day of learn-ing and network. Accordingto the Website of the Con-ference, “Dr. Barrera is a spe-cialist in multicultural com-munications and media stud-ies, stemming from program-ming she created and pro-duced for the Public Broad-casting Service (PBS) andNational Public Radio(NPR). Her PBS series,CARRASCOLENDAS, be-came the first network tele-vision production to addressthe needs of Latino childrenin the United States.”

Other speakers includedIsabel Montemayor andMarcelina Treviño Savala.

This year, the MaríaZavala Award was receivedby Alejandra “Ollie”Zuniga, a strong advocatefor education in Michiganand the United States. She isa native of Texas but movedwith her family to Saginawin the 1940s. Zuniga wascofounder of Saginaw’s GIForum’s annual CésarChávez Scholarship Lun-cheon, scheduled for March31, 2011, at Saginaw ValleyState University.

The Día de la Mujer Con-ference was organized by theOffice of Cultural& Aca-demic Transitions, Culturasde las Razas Unidas, Michi-gan State University and theConference Planning Com-mittee form by twenty onewomen and coordinated by

that tour and in subsequentperformances, SeptetoNacional Ignacio Piñeiro deCuba has been met with over-whelming warmth and ac-claim from critics and audi-ences alike.

“There’s no antiquariandust on Septeto Nacional...Its Cuban son, and its rumbasand boleros are music of trans-parency, tensile strength, andphantom drive. Piñeiro’s lyr-ics are perennial: lamenta-tions about lost love and cel-ebrations of Cuba, dancingand the joys of rhythm.” (TheNew York Times)

On April 9, 2011 the LamayClinic Project(lamayclinic.org) will host theTaste of Perú Benefit. ThisProject, run by the medicalcommunity in Cleveland, or-ganizes annual mission trips toCusco, Perú.

The project started in 2009as a medical school elective,designed and coordinated bymedical students of ClevelandClinic Lerner College of Medi-cine and Case Western ReserveUniversity.

Taste of Perú 2011 has theobjective to fundraise and gainawareness to support the volun-teer medical team who will travelthis summer. The students travelwith a team of over fortyhealthcare professionals includ-ing physicians, pediatricians,nurses and dentists from Cleve-land and around the country.This team provides medical andophthalmologic care to over1,500 patients during a two-month period at the local healthpost of Lamay, Cusco, Perú.

The Sacred Valley is a beau-tiful region in the Southernhalf of Perú, where many indig-enous people continue to livein remote rural villages. Thispopulation suffers major healthissues, as malnourished and un-derweight children, and adultswith musculoskeletal and skinproblems in addition to poordentition and eye sight.

Students and faculty mem-bers will facilitate educationalsessions including CPR, backpain exercises, dental hygieneand hand washing for childrenand mothers. One of the stu-dent leaders of the project,Satoko Kanahara, a fourth-

year medical student at theCleveland Clinic Lerner Col-lege of Medicine states:“Lamay Clinic Project is con-stantly growing as we learnmore about the community ofLamay and its people eachyear.

“This project is a work inprogress, but the process ofcoming up with better solu-tions is also rewarding. Wehave strong trust and work-ing relationship with the lo-cal healthcare workers, themayor of Lamay, and othervolunteer organizations.”

This year’s benefit “Tasteof Perú 2011,” includes a pre-sentation and slideshow bymedical students outliningthe project goals and chal-lenges for this year’s trip, pre-ceded by opening remarks by

Dr. James B. Young, Execu-tive Dean, Cleveland ClinicLerner College of Medicine,Case Western Reserve Univer-sity.

The program includes liveentertainment featuring per-formance of Peruvian dancesby local dance groups Raícesdel Perú and Marcia Salas, anauction of hand-made craftpieces and products from Perú,and a salsa lesson sponsoredby Viva Dance! Studio.

Obama visitará la tumba del arzobispo Romeroamnistía promulgada por elgobierno de Arena horas antesque fuese divulgado el informede la Comisión en 1993.

El subsecretario de Estadopara el hemisferio occidental,Arturo Valenzuela, dijo que lavisita a la cripta “es unademostración del compromisoque tiene el presidente(Obama) con el tema de losderechos humanos y tambiénun reconocimiento de lasdificultades que el país ha idosuperando”, señaló.

Para el congresistarepublicano James P.McGovern, “es importante queno olvidemos a los que

murieron, desaparecieron ysufrieron durante la guerra civil”(salvadoreña). Afirmó en uncomunicado que la visita deObama a la tumba es un homenaje“ a un hombre que estuvocomprometido con la verdad, lajusticia y la paz, y que acompañóa los pobres de su país”.

Monseñor Romero, que yahabía dicho que lo iban a matar,fue asesinado cuando oficiabamisa el 24 de marzo de 1980por un francotirador que ledisparó al corazón desde unvehículo estacionado frente ala entrada principal de unacapilla de un hospitalito paraenfermos de cáncer terminal.

El postulador de labeatificación de arzobispo antela sagrada Congregación para laCausa de los Santos del Vaticano,monseñor Rafael Urrutia, declarórecientemente que “el procesova como debe ir, se está en elproceso final de la beatificaciónde Romero.

El estudio inició en 1994,pero el proceso de beatificacióndel prelado fue aprobado por elVaticano en mayo de 2005,cuando la Congregación de laDoctrina de la Fe concluyó queRomero fue “un mártir de laiglesia, asesinado por su fecristiana” y actualmente seanaliza la tesis del martirio.

Grants available for organizations thatassist farmworkers

The U.S. Department of Labor announced two grantcompetitions for the National Farmworker JobsProgram. One competition will fund organizationsthat will provide training, the other housing services,to migrant and seasonal farmworkers and theirfamilies. The National Farmworker Jobs Program helpsfarmworkers upgrade their agricultural job skills oracquire new ones in occupations that offer higherwages and more stable employment. In addition, theprogram provides supportive services such as childcare, health care and transportation. These servicesremove barriers to farmworkers beginning or remainingin training, and enable them to retain theiremployment. The housing portion of the program allowsorganizations to provide permanent housingassistance, temporary and/or emergency housingassistance, or a combination of both. Specific typesof activities allowed are defined in the solicitation forgrant applications. Typically, housing assistancegrantees provide these services in more than onestate or areas of a single state. Eligible applicants include, but are not limited to,community-based and public agencies that assistfarmworkers and their families in attaining greatereconomic stability. This competition is being conducted before thepassage of the Department of Labor’s fiscal year2011 appropriation in anticipation of funds beingmade available for National Farmworker Jobs Programgrants, but the department will not obligate any fundsfor 2011 grants until they are appropriated by Congress. Notices of both solicitations for grant applicationswill be published in the March 17, 2011 edition of theFederal Register.
