More on Jesus Hurtado
A few days ago I posted (below) comments about a memorable meeting Nov 21 with a man, Jesus Hurtado, who had participated in the 1989 Hunger Strike at the Cathedral of St. Paul.
Dec 3, we had a small (6 people) but excellent meeting with the man, Jesus Hurtado. It included one other of the other 1989 Hunger Strikers, Jerry Rau, and we had a rich discussion.
We agreed to reconvene on January 17, 2007, at St. Joan of Arc.
Jesus provided the Hunger Strikers Summary of their 19 day Strike at the St. Paul Cathedral. It is accessible here.
There are lessons to be learned from the 1989 Strike which apply directly to today’s Peace Movement. There is a serious need to take a new look at tactics and strategies to achieve attention toward Peace in this century.
