> keynote will explore the devastating consequences of U.S.-backed state

> U.S. intervention from 1960-1996 led to the deaths of over 300,000 people.
> U.S.-backed dictatorships in Guatemala and Indonesia killed more than a
> million people accused of revolutionary activism. At the same time,
> throughout the Global South, rural workers led powerful movements against
> U.S.-backed regimes to win basic rights.

> The keynote presenter, *Dr.* *Rigoberta Menchú Tum*, participated in the

> Rigoberta Menchú, An Indian Woman in Guatemala,* denounced Reagan’s
> support for government attacks on Mayan communities. She won the Nobel
> Peace Prize in 1992 for her social justice work, and she was part of a
> decades-long effort to convict the former Guatemalan dictator José Efrain
> Ríos Montt of genocide and crimes against humanity.
