Today In Latin American History

The Mirabal sisters—Patria, Minerva, and María Teresa—were murdered in the Dominican Republic on November 25, 1960 in retaliation for their active work against the regime of dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, who was eventually executed the following year. The sisters’ home province of Salcedo has been renamed Hermanas Mirabal Province in their honor in 2007, and the United Nations has designated the anniversary of their death as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Their story was also fictionalized in Julia Álvarez’ 1994 novel In the Time of the Butterflies and the 2010 film Trópico de Sangre. The sisters’ image also appears in the 200 Dominican pesos note.

Inka khipu, AD 1425–1532, Chulpaca, Ica, Peru

The Inka khipu—a knotted string used to encode quantitative information—helped the Inka Empire rule its vast domain for more than 100 years. The khipu has one horizontal string from which hang numerous other strings that vary in length, knots, twine technology, and color, attributes that served to record tax records, labor input from particular communities, or other numerical information of interest to officials who held and worked with khipus. It is also thought that khipus may have been more than accounting devices and may have served as some sort of incipient writing system.
