In Puerto Vallarta, the flag waved at half-mast to commemorate the anniversary of the Tlatelolco massacre, the struggle for democracy in the 1968 student movement, a significant and tragic date in the contemporary history of Mexico.
The Tlatelolco massacre was the killing of an estimated 300 to 400 students and civilians by military and police on October 2, 1968, in the Plaza de las Tres Culturas in the Tlatelolco section of Mexico City. The events are considered part of the Mexican Dirty War, when the government used its forces to suppress political opposition. The massacre occurred roughly 10 days . . .
