The Xavier University Division of Fine Arts and the Humanities invites you to attend an Evening with Robert and Maud Cox who will be on hand for the screening of a recently released documentary entitled, Messenger on a White Horse. They will also answer questions about their lives in Argentina during 1970‘s.

Messenger on a White Horse tells the story of former Buenos Aires Herald editor, Robert Cox and his unswerving defiance of Argentina‘s last military dictatorship. At a time when most local media chose to turn a blind eye to the reports of torture and forced disappearances, Cox published hundreds of articles about the military‘s crimes. His wife Maud was a constant source of physical and moral support. However, because of threats to her and her children she eventually convinced Bob to leave the country.

The film (55 minutes) and after-talk will take place on Monday, March 5 at 7:00PM in the Department of Music Recital Hall. Xavier University is located at 1 Drexel Dr., NOLA 70125 The Department of Music is housed in the Blanche MacDonald Francis Music Building (Building 10.)
