“Violence is for cowards,” said Rigoberta Menchu at the end of a speech at a Nov. 15 event organized by Homies Empowerment and the YMCA Urban Services. “Cowards use violence because they can’t think of other solutions.”
Menchus spoke to a standing room only crowd of 500 people at Urban Promise Academy’s new multi-purpose room.
A complete story on Menchu’s speech will be posted shortly.
