The Mexican Student Movement refers to a series of protests and demonstrations by students in Mexico during the late 1960s, particularly in 1968. The movement emerged in response to government repression, social inequality, and the lack of political freedoms. Students demanded reforms in education and greater democratic rights, culminating in large-scale protests in Mexico City. The movement gained international attention, especially after the tragic events of the Tlatelolco Massacre on October 2, 1968, where government forces killed hundreds of students. This event highlighted the government's authoritarian approach and sparked further activism, influencing future generations in Mexico and beyond.
