Lectures and Discourse: FIUSM’s ongoing series exploring current events, social topics and social issues through the expert eyes of FIU’s own professors.
From 1976 to 1983, Argentina’s military dictatorship illegally arrested and murdered an estimated 10,000 to 30,000 citizens believed to be subversives. They also kidnapped the children of these citizens and placed them with military families. A human rights group, Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, has been working to find the estimated 500 missing grandchildren. Earlier this month the 114 grandchild was found, bringing the country’s past back into the spotlight.
