Javier Sicilia's Call to Journalists

After the tragic murder of his son, Mexican poet and journalist Javier Sicilia transformed his grief into a national rallying cry against the War on Drugs, which has left more than 50,000 Mexicans dead in five years. Within months, he united family members of the war's victims from across the nation into a broad based and nonviolent movement for peace and justice.

In May of 2010, Sicilia addressed students and faculty of the School of Authentic Journalism at its graduation dinner, where he received the first diploma of the evening.
