Alma Guillermoprieto

Alma Guillermoprieto was one of two journalists in 1982 to break the story of a massacre of nine hundred villagers at El Mozote by the U.S.-backed El Salvadoran army. Before becoming a noted reporter on Latin America, she was a professional dancer, at one time teaching high school students in Cuba in 1970—the subject of her memoir Dancing with Cuba, published in 2004.
