was during this time that Rigoberta Menchu's family became involved in the
resistance.
The situation in Guatemala is similar to South Africa, where the black majority

... crowded the streets, the rich were busy displaying their enormous wealth. Even though the need for reform was overwhelming, for the majority of Americans, nothing was being done.
