Description

• Today I will tell you about my visit to the museum "Memorial of the 68".
• First, I could see three screens with testimonies of the time and world situation in which the conflict would develop.

• At that time the president was Gustavo Diaz Ordaz and the Rector of the UNAM was Javier Barros Sierra; As for the world, the Cold War was developing.
• The young people began to accept their homosexuality and were manifested by different peaceful causes.

• Then I walked down a hallway where I could see a stained glass window with books, among them the "Che Guevara" newspaper, besides listening to the music of the Bittles and Madona.

• Next, I came to a small room where testimonies were projected, but the one that attracted my most attention was that of a woman who was trapped along with her brothers by her father in the movement; Nevertheless, the father smiled to him and made the victory V with the fingers in sign that it supported it although they had disobeyed it.

After that, I came to a room where there was a white table with footprints, shoes, caps and trash where the street is depicted after the massacre.

• Beside that was a metal door that symbolized a prison, inside were many photos of students captured by the police.

• Finally, look at a picture with the caption: "Everything is possible in peace"; And next to him a black box with the title "Why?".

"Why?", Cardboard published on October 3 in the newspaper Excélsior. Abel Quezada Rueda paints his editorial space all black, manifesting mourning for the slaughter of Tlatelolco
