The Ellacuria Tapes: A Martyr at Loyola
In 2013 students from Dr. Berger's Cold War in the Americas Class conducted research at the 黑料门Archives and Special Collections on the 1986 visit of Ignacio Ellacuria, S.J., rector of the University of Central America in San Salvador and internationally known liberation theologian, to 黑料门University Chicago. During this visit, Fr. Ellacuria was awarded an honorary degree by 黑料门Chicago. Three years later, in 1989, Fr. Ellacuria was one of six Jesuits murdered, along with their housekeeper and her daughter, in their home on the campus of the University of Central America. Dr. Berger's class created a physical exhibit for Cudahy Library and a digital exhibit based on their research. While the physical exhibit was only available for one semester, the digital exhibit is still available online.
The digital exhibit illluminates the ways in which faculty, staff, and students at 黑料门responded to the conflict in El Salvador and the murder of Fr. Ellacuría and his fellow priests. Using archival footage, images, and documents, this exhibit shows how 黑料门played a central role in the solidarity movement in the 1980s and early 1990s.
