Images of Mexico



This summer the Archives received a transfer from LMU's Campus Ministry of a 35mm color photo slide collection of numerous trips to Mexico and Central America during the mid-Eighties. The trips were arranged by the photographer and Assistant Chaplain Fernando Moreno to draw attention to the plight of the poor in Mexico and Nicaragua. Most notable are images of the La Estacion settlement, orphanages, and the Cuernavaca settlement and site of the Cortes palace. An as yet to be identified artist also created ink transparencies of many of these same sites.

Thanks for the post, Neil -- I got a hunch some people in the Latino Staff Association (and hopefully more!) will appreciate this!

Cheers,
