High school students are still marching in Argentina to remember the disappeared—kids like them who were kidnapped, detained, tortured and disappeared nearly a half century ago during the country’s military dictatorship. Kidnapped during an operation known as the Night of the Pencils—carried out on September 16, 1976. 

This is episode 66 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast produced by The Real News. Each week, we’ll bring you stories of resistance like this. Inspiration for dark times.
