Dear Colleagues, The Olympics have often given activists the opportunity to use the international media attention to achieve the freedom of speech they lack in their own countries. As part of the Sound Ethnography Project organized by UCI anthropology graduate students, I recently contributed a piece about the tragic events of the 1968 Summer Olympics where a vibrant student movement was quashed just ten days before the opening ceremony. Every year on October 2nd, thousands gather at La Plaza de las Tres Culturas in Mexico City to remember the dozens of students who lost their lives that day. I invite you to read my brief piece entitled "October 2nd is Not Forgotten" and to listen to a fifteen minute recording of the gathering that took place on the 43rd anniversary of the tragedy. They can be found at http://soundethnography.com/.
I look forward to reading your comments. Thank you, Cristina Cristina T.
