VISUALIZING THE PEOPLE'S HISTORY:
RICHARD CROSS'S IMAGE OF THE CENTRAL AMERICAN LIBERATION WARS
AUGUST 15, 2019–JANUARY 12, 2020
American photojournalist Richard Cross documented the turbulent period of liberation wars in Central America from 1979 to 1983, until he was killed while on assignment in Honduras. The photographs depict communities and landscapes enduring war and genocide. Cross’s work illuminates the legacies of these wars, which propelled the largest contemporary migration of people from Central America to the United States, and which continue to shape their American experience.
