Audiotapes and videotapes,, circa 1980-1993.

 Series
Identifier: Series 9.

Scope and Contents

This series contains audio cassettes and VHS videos relating to Nicgorski and the Sanctuary movement.

The audio cassettes include first-hand accounts from the early 1980s by refugees; several of these originate with the Ixcot [Excot] family, in whose flight and settlement in the United States Nicgorski played a vital role. Other cassettes document Nicgorski's speaking engagements, as well as major Sanctuary conferences, in the years 1985-1987. Of special significance are Nicgorski's reflections on the Arizona Sanctuary Trial, recorded daily on a series of microcassette (for transcripts of these reflections, see above, Series 4, box 2, folder 62). Several cassettes contain interviews given by Nicgorski; significant among these are interviews (on 3 cassettes) by Barbara Bezdek. The cassettes also include the memorial service and funeral liturgy for Nicgorski's friend, Patricia Pechauer, SSSF, who was killed in a traffic accident while attending the Arizona Sanctuary Trial in April 1986. A number of cassettes contain music, including peasant masses from Nicaragua and El Salvador, Spanish-language songs by Cecilia Stanton and Judy Connolly, SSND.

The videotapes include Nicgorski's appearance on the Phil Donohue Show, interviews of Nicgorski and her counsel, Michael Altman, on C-SPAN and the television documentary "Holy Defiance", two Public Broadcasting System documentaries on the Sanctuary movement, and the 1982 Ana Carrigan and Bernard Stone film, Roses in December - the story of Jean Donovan, which Nicgorski often used in her presentations.
