The Other 9/11
Thirty years ago, the U.S. government orchestrated one of the bloodiest coups in Latin America. On Sept. 11, 1973, the Nixon/Kissinger administration, following the orders of the multinational corporations ITT and Kennecot Copper, overthrew the socialist administration of President Salvador Allende. Tens of thousands of Chileans were killed on that day. Every progressive reform implemented by the Allende administration was overturned.
As we remember the lives of those lost on Sept. 11 at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, let us also remember the victims of the other Sept. 11.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
