Emiliano Zapata

"¡Tierra y Libertad!"

"I want to die a slave to principles. Not to men."

"Prefiero morir de pie que vivir de rodillas."

"La tierra es de quien la trabaja con sus manos."

"Ignorance and obscurantism have never produced anything other than flocks of slaves for tyranny."

"The historic January 1, 1994, indigenous uprising led by the Zapatistas in Chiapas further strengthened the new sense of self. By April 22, 1994, it seemed that the spirit of Mexico's revolutionary hero Emiliano Zapata had marched straight from the mountains of Chiapas to Dolores Park, San Francisco."
