The student’s uprising before the olympic games in Mexico City are remembered by this monument at the spot were students were shot from the roofs of buildings by soldiers.This is also known as the Tlatelolco massacre.
As the last words on this stone say, the media did not mention anything about it. So, this is also a lession from history to do your own media, to be media.
This is the site were people were shot,soldiers were inside this building:
there is now an exhibition to remember what happened. here are some photos from the exhibition:
while the undercover cop (?) here is holding a gun, one of the students is holding a camera. This picture touched me.
and this is such a depressive picture. but also strong. i read it as: just don’t join the army. grow weed or repair bicycles. but never join the army. army sucks.
oh, and of course, on the photo above with the green and the church etc: this is also a site of world heritage. these ruins are pre-cortes of course: from before the occupation of mexico by europeans.
