Our podcast, Emancipated: Voices and Images from the Archive, continues with the second chapter of Toña’s Crossing the River and Other Stories of Fight and Resistance from El Salvador, a series produced and hosted by our archival researcher Marta Valier, using oral histories with people who lived in El Salvador during the Liberation War (1980–1992). In the second chapter, we keep following Linda Garrett on her trip to San Salvador as a human rights representative for El Rescate and we meet Carlos Henríquez Consalvi, known as Santiago, who also traveled to San Salvador from Nicaragua with the intention to establish Radio Venceremos, a radio station that operated in areas controlled by the insurgency and that he kept clandestine for 11 years (episode hosted & produced by Marta Valier). Both of them traveled to San Salvador after the assassination of Salvadoran Archbishop Óscar Romero in March 1980, a time where thousands of Salvadorans were fleeing the country.
