Discovering Dominga
When Denese Becker, an Iowa housewife who was adopted, looks into her birthplace in Guatemala, finds that she is the last survivor of her family after a massacre of Mayan peasants. Denese's journey home is both a voyage of self-discovery that permanently alters her relationship to her American family and a political awakening that sheds light on an act of genocide.
Event located at The National Center for the Preservation of Democracy at 111 North Central Ave. (directly across from the Japanese American National Museum) in downtown Los Angeles.
This event is hosted by Lorin Morgan-Richards and Tahesha Knapp-Christensen and sponsored by The Japanese American National Museum, The Southern California Indian Center, Inc., Haramokngna American Indian Cultural Center, and The National Center for the Preservation of Democracy.
