Honoring Peace And Justice 尊崇和平与正义 Allow me to invoke not one but two, only two, who were heroes ---

honoring peace and justice
尊崇和平与正义

allow me to invoke not one but two, only two, who were heroes --- among millions of heroes. who were victims --- among tens of millions of victims.

the first: oscar arnulfo romero, archbishop of san salvador, murdered in his vestments, while saying mass in the cathedral on march 24, 1980 --- twenty-three years ago --- because he had become "a vocal advocate of a just peace, and had openly opposed the forces of violence and oppression." (i am quoting from the description of the oscar romero award, being given today to ishai menuchin.)

the second: rachel corrie, a twenty-three-year-old college student from olympia, washington, murdered in the bright neon-orange jacket with day-glo striping that "human shields" wear to make themselves quite visible, and possibly safer, while trying to stop one of the almost daily house demolitions by israeli forces in rafah, a town in the southern gaza strip (where gaza abuts the egyptian border), on march 16, 2003 --- two weeks ago. standing in front of a palestinian physician's house that had been targeted for demolition, corrie, one of eight young american and british human-shield volunteers in rafah, had been waving and shouting at the driver of an oncoming armored d-9 bulldozer through her megaphone, then dropped to her knees in the path of the super-sized bulldozer ... which did not slow down.

two emblematic figures of sacrifice, killed by the forces of violence and oppression to which they were offering non-violent, principled, dangerous opposition.
