April 21, 1967 Forty-Year Anniversary
Forty years ago, on April 21, 1967, a conspiring group of middle-rank military officers destroyed freedom and democracy in Greece by staging a coup d'état and establishing a ruthless dictatorship. The junta would last seven years and end with the disastrous adventure in Cyprus in 1974. The Modern Greek Program at the University of Michigan is marking the dark anniversary by posting two unpublished texts by Professors Eva Konstantellou (Lesley University) and Antonis Liakos (University of Athens) that recall and reflect on that day.
