UNAM revolution

The UNAM Revolution refers to a period of student-led protests and activism at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) during the late 1960s, particularly around 1968. It was driven by concerns over political repression, lack of academic freedom, and government control. Students demanded university autonomy, democratic reforms, and broader civil rights. The movement became part of a larger national context of social and political upheaval in Mexico, culminating in confrontations with authorities, notably the Tlatelolco massacre in October 1968, where many protesters were killed. The event remains a symbol of student activism and resistance against authoritarianism.
