Healy became a human rights activist after the 1980 murder of four of her fellow religious workers in El Salvador. A strong spokesman against the brutal repression of the people of El Salvador and the role played by the United States in assisting the right-wing regime, Healy has testified before Congress against U.S. policy in Central America. She has served as a consultant to several human rights programs and appeared on television programs including "60 Minutes" and "Good Morning America."
Healy's appearance at Muhlenberg is sponsored by the Muhlenberg College Center for Ethics as part of its spring series on human rights, marking the end of the United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education. For more information about the series, visit www.muhlenberg.edu/cultural/ethics.
