Located right in the middle of Plaza de Mayo this obelisk was constructed to commemorate Argentina's first year independence from Spain. It is said that every Thursday at 3:30 pm, the mothers of the disappeared continue to march and search for social justice. I had long heard of these women marching in BA and I had hoped to see them during one of their protests. I do know that a long time ago many young Argentines were killed for their views which were contrary to their government at the time.
