Despite U.S. Threats, Voters Return Sandinistas To Power Steven Argue 2006-11-14 1:53 AM

The Sandinistas also made literacy and healthcare a priority. Easily treated diseases that Somoza let kill and maim, such as polio, were vaccinated against and eliminated. Teaching everyone to read and write became a priority in the country where Somoza once declared he wanted “… uneducated people, little more than beasts of burden.” (image/jpeg + 2 comments)
