The origins of the students day go back to 1929 when students of the Autonomous University of Mexico , took the strike in favor of university autonomy. After a series of events and protests that culminated in a general strike, students were severely beaten by police in the capital facilities Law School on May 23; for that reason the students of this school claimed that this day would be remembered as Student Day in honor of the attacked. The Plaza de Santo Domingo in Mexico City was called Plaza 23 de Mayo in honor of the students.
Just over a month after the independence of this institution will be managed and eventually in many of the states were created spaces for relaxation and study were taken and are called "Gardens of the Student" in honor the struggle for university autonomy. Since then it has been held every May 23 Student Day as a reminder of the struggle for a more open and participatory education, but of course, now that celebrate unknown origin and is taken as an excuse to leave of academic work and relax the normal behavior of students for a few hours.
