1968 student massacre remembered

In what seems to have become an annual tradition in Guadalajara, protestors marked the anniversary of the October 2, 1968 student massacre in Mexico City by placing a “murderer” sign on the  statue of former Jalisco Governor Marcelino Garcia Barragan  that graces the city’s Rotunda of Illustrious Citizens.  Garcia was Mexico’s Defense Secretary at the time of the massacre, in which soldiers opened fire on protesting students, killing an unspecified number, believed to be in excess of 300.
