Resumen:
This paper is a partial account, from July 24 to October the 2nd, of the
1968 Mexican student movement. This period is considered the first stage
of the struggle. This writing interweaves factual description with
documents from the period and subjective memories from the narrator's
point of view, derived from the consideration that a peculiar,
insignificant fact such as a conflict between students of a high school
and a vocational college, quickly evolved into a movement that stunned
Mexican society, due to the necessary courage and conviction of justice
and transformation shown by the young men and women, and the brutal
violence used by the government to crush the rebellion.
