Description

The Nicaraguan Association of Las Vegas includes members who fled their country because they could not tolerate the repressive Marxist regime that took over after the Sandinistas toppled the U.S. backed dictator, Antonio Samoza in 1978. The priest at the center of the photograph said he wanted to return to Nicaragua but cannot because he had been critical of the Sandinista government who does not tolerate any form of criticism.
