White Scarf In Plaza De Mayo, Symbol Of The Mothers Of Plaza De Mayo

The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo is an association of Argentine mothers whose children "disappeared" during the state terrorism of the military dictatorship, between 1976 and 1983. They organized while trying to learn what had happened to their children, and began to march in 1977 at the Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires in public defiance of the government's state terrorism intended to silence all opposition.
