    Ransom Center Associate Professor of Journalism at The University of Texas at Austin Mercedes Lynn de Uriarte presents “Ominous Parallels: El Salvador as Foreshadowing” at the Harry Ransom Center on Thursday, May 22, at 7 p.m. The talk gives an overview of key U.S. activities in El Salvador in the 1980s and how those activities related to and shaped the media’s interpretation of later events. This lecture is presented in conjunction with the photography exhibition Inside El Salvador, which chronicles the height of the civil war in El Salvador in the early 1980s and depicts those directly involved with the conflict, including the guerilla forces and the army, and the war’s effects on the civilian population.
