Monsenior Romero

"If they kill me, I will resurrect among the Salvadoran people."
Monsenor Oscar Romero (August 15, 1917-March 24, 1980)
Monsenor Romero was many things to the Salvadoran people. He was a leader, a man of God, and a visionary for change, hope, and for civil rights. His unbelievable assassination wounded the Salvadoran spirit, but it did not stop the quest for justice. Rather, many chose to rise up against the injustice on account of the despicable acts committed against those who spoke truth and who pursued a better way of life. Monsenor Romero's untimely death served as a catalyst for the Salvadoran people. His legacy continues to live on throughout El Salvador and in the spirit of those who pursue justice and the promise of peace.
