Octobre 61 a 50 ans
The Paris Massacre:
Then and Now

University of Southern California
October 27, 2011

The Department of French and Italian of the University of Southern California is pleased to announce a one-day symposium marking the fifty-year anniversary of October 17, 1961. On that date, thousands of Algerians demonstrated peacefully in the streets of Paris to protest a curfew imposed upon them in the last days of the Algerian war; dozens if not hundreds were killed in the police crackdown that ensued.
