SU-S02E18 – Maura Clarke’s Story with Eileen Markey
In episode 18, Eileen Markey tells us about Maura Clarke, one of four U.S. women killed in 1980 by the Salvadoran military. Her radical solidarity with the Salvadoran people ultimately led her, Ita Ford, Dorothy Kazel and Jean Donovan to share the same fate as so many Salvadorans. The killing of the churchwomen drew the attention of North Americans to the struggles of Salvadorans and forced many to face the U.S. role in the war.
