Alborada Online: The 50th Anniversary of Chile’s Popular Unity

4 September 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of Salvador Allende winning the presidency in Chile. His Popular Unity government became a beacon of hope for people across Latin America and the world until it was overthrown in the US-backed coup of 11 September 1973. This Alborada Online event held on 10 September, 2020 explored what the Popular Unity meant for its supporters and the historical context in which it arose and was ultimately defeated.
