2 de Octubre 1968 – Manifestación estudiantil en Tlatelolco.


En julio de 1968 durante el gobierno del presidente Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, se iniciaron una serie manifestaciones y marchas estudiantiles en la Ciudad de México que criticaban el autoritarismo del gobierno, apoyaban las protestas en el mundo, pedían se respetara la autonomía universitaria y exigían la libertad de los presos políticos. A los estudiantes de la UNAM se unieron los del Instituto Politécnico Nacional y todos los centros educativos de la Ciudad de México; después asociaciones de maestros y sindicatos hasta convertirse en un gran movimiento social. Con representantes de todos ellos se formó el Consejo Nacional de Huelga que a mediados de septiembre empezó a sufrir una severa represión con la entrada del ejército a la Ciudad Universitaria. En ese momento se calcula que había una docena de muertos y alrededor de 100 detenidos o desaparecidos.
El 2 de octubre de ese año se convocó a una manifestación en la Plaza de las Tres culturas en Tlatelolco. El movimiento estaba ya declinando con muchos de sus líderes encarcelados pero el ambiente social estaba muy tenso a 10 días de iniciarse los juegos olímpicos. Unos minutos después de iniciada la manifestación, con los líderes que quedaban libres y un orador en el tercer piso del Edificio Chihuahua, un helicóptero del ejército mexicano lanza unas bengalas sobre la multitud. Con esta señal, militares, paramilitares y francotiradores abren fuego contra los 5000 manifestantes, estudiantes en su mayoría. El número de muertos es desconocido hasta la fecha, pero se sitúa entre 300 y 500, con más 2000 detenidos. Este fue el fin de movimiento estudiantil, los Juegos Olímpicos se celebraron 10 días después en la Ciudad de México sin incidentes.
En su 5º. Informe de gobierno en 1969, 11 meses después, el presidente Gustavo Díaz Ordaz dijo “Asumo íntegramente la responsabilidad personal, ética, social, jurídica, política e histórica por las decisiones del gobierno en relación con los sucesos del año pasado”. Él consideraba que había cumplido con su deber al “salvar a México del comunismo”, cuya implantación jamás fue uno de los objetivos del movimiento estudiantil.

PYP Exhibit song


“Don’t you worry world”

There was a time…. We used to look into the magazines.
We saw the world… it was alright but it could be improved.
Culture and art helped to make a better world for all…
Keep our traditions …. Don’t let them all disappear.

There stood a child suffering bullying,
 in the classroom and the patio…
We must remember that the law protects
My father said
Don´t you worry,  don´t you worry child
 Respect and happiness are yours
 Don´t you worry don´t you worry now
 Yeah !
 Don´t you worry, don´t you worry child
 Respect and happiness are yours.
 Don´t you worry don´t you worry child

Yeah!

Our lives today,
are controlled by the economy
And our crusade,
Is to do away with poverty...
And so we seek... equality round the world
Just hear our song... peace and love across the Earth

No more war, we just want peace
Communication is the answer
Lest we forget we need to be the change
My father said

Don’t you worry, don’t you worry world
We’re gonna end slavery
Don’t you worry, don´t you worry world
Yeah ! oh oh oh oh oh oh oh  ( 3 times )
Olinca’s got a plan for you
Don´t you worry, don´t you worry world
Olinca’s a plan for you
Don´t you worry, don´t you worry world
        Yeah!

Jeremy Gilley

A day of peace. It seems lovely and hopeful to those of us lucky enough to live in peace already. But to those living in war, a day of peace, a temporary cease-fire, is not only lovely, it's incredibly practical. On a day when no bullets fly, families can go to the clinic, mosquito nets can be given out, and kids who've known only war can learn what peace looks like, sounds like. In short, it's a window of opportunity to build peace. For the past 10 years, filmmaker Jeremy Gilley has been promoting September 21 as a true international day of ceasefire, a day to carry out humanitarian aid in the world's most dangerous zones. The practical challenge is huge, starting with: how to convince both parties in a conflict to put down their weapons and trust the other side to do the same? But Gilley has recorded successes. For instance, on September 21, 2008, some 1.85 million children under 5 years old, in seven Afghan provinces where conflict has previously prevented access, were given a vaccine for polio.
On September 21, 2011, Gilley will start the 365-day-long countdown to Truce 2012, a hoped-for global day of guns-down ceasefire and worldwide action toward peace.
He says: "The only logical progression is to work towards a global cessation of hostilities on Peace Day -- from violence in our homes and schools, through to armed conflict."
