OUR MISSION
HMP cultivates historical memory to memorialize victims of state-sponsored terror, raise awareness of historical injustices in Latin America and beyond, and foster our collective human rights memory.
Based in New York City at the City University of New York (CUNY), we strive to connect with students, scholars, researchers, activists, and grassroots communities. We maintain that the recovery of historical memory is an antidote to historical injustices.
IN PURSUIT OF OUR MISSION
We preserve the collective memory of forcibly disappeared, the tortured, the massacred, and all those whose human rights were violated by planned and coordinated state actions.
We curate a publicly accessible, interactive online archive of court files, forensic evidence, expert witness testimonies, oral testimonies, war photography, and journalistic pieces.
We organize cultural and educational historical memory events, workshops, and seminars to teach and raise awareness of state violence and human rights crimes.
We empower immigrant and diasporic communities to form a shared sense of identity and to become the next generation of human rights activists seeking truth, justice, and equality.
