Lent Photo a Day: Gaitan

In 1948, Presidential candidate Jorge Elecier Gaitan was shot outside of his office in downtown Bogota. This is, to many, the start of the current and ongoing armed conflict in Colombia. This photo is of the memorial at the exact place where he was shot. As Andres was giving us a tour of downtown Bogota, he made sure that we came to this place.
