Ousted Honduran president visits GW!


I had the pleasure of sitting in on a lecture that former President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras gave at the Eliott School here at GW today. He only speaks Spanish, so after the speech I asked him in Spanish what is message for GW students who want to support democracy in Latin America was? His response: "It's very important that the students help the fight for democracy." A good standard answer, but still I thought it was so fascinating to see him in person!
