Etelvina Maldonado
In the past 24 hours, we’ve heard of the passing of historian Howard Zinn, and novelist J.D. Salinger. Both men well-known here in the US � but both also had great influence on how people outside this country view America. For our Global Hit today, we want to tell you about a woman who died this week, unknown to many here in the U.S. Etelvina Maldonado was 75. Even in her home of Colombia, Etelvina Maldonado was not a household name.
