Abstract

rigoberta menchutum, a great nonviolent leader, born in 1959 in Guatemala, struggled through many hardships with her family. Her mother and father, community leaders working towards their goal of giving power to the peasant workers, fought through to the end when tortured and killed by the Guatemalan government. Different from her parents, she envisioned a democratic Guatemala, instead of the current communist regime. At this time the Guatemalan government treated all lower class citizens poorly by making a low minimum wage and having unsafe agricultural working conditions. Although tum experienced the violent reality of Guatemala in 1960, she took a peaceful approach to creating a more cooperative relationship between the government and the proletarian forces.
