Remembering a massacre
It is worth remembering history, especially the parts that some would like us to forget. Ten days before the start of the Olympic Games in Mexico in 1968 there was a massacre in Tlatelolco Square in Mexico City. The demonstrations were part of a worldwide series of protests at around that time but the Mexican one was crushed with extreme force by the authorities, killing several hundred. Maybe they could not face the idea of dissent just before the Olympics. More details of the Tlatelolco massacre from Wikipedia.
