We Hope You Will Attend our First Colloquium of 2012--TONIGHT! 

The U.S., Central America and The Global Economy

Thursday, Jan. 26

7 - 9 pm

Wheaton Library
11701 Georgia Ave., Wheaton

The U.S. has played a major role in Central America's economy and politics for over 100 years, both overtly through military intervention and less obviously through political and economic manipulation. The people of Central America have resisted this interference, often at great cost.  

Come learn more about the current political and economic situation of our neighbors to the south, the role of the U.S., and what we can do.
