"Genocide of the Indian and slavery of the African-

European immigration,” states the National Catholic
conference of Interracial Justice. "These flaws in our
make-up are still the most critical issues facing our
country.’'
"Dr. King belongs to the world now. When 11 student
leaders who had spoken up for justice in Guatemala
were 'disappeared'by that country's armv in 1989, Padre
Andres Giron evoked the name of Dr. King as he
preached to students at a Mass at San Carlos Univer-
