Anniversary of the 1976 Golpe de Estado

We went to the marches memorializing the 1976 Coup today. It was pretty interesting to see. The first march consisted of the Madres y Abuelas de la Plaza de Mayo and their families. They carried a large banner that lasted several blocks that had the pictures of all the disappeared and murdered people on it. It was striking to see this in person, realizing that the pain these people have and had isn't just in textbooks. The second march offered much more levity to the situation. It consisted of different left wing and human rights groups. A lot of them had drums, horns and dancers as well as large banners.







This banner is for the Teacher's Union. I thought it was sort of funny they had such a strong presence.
