On December 6, 1914, a hundred years ago today, the revolutionary forces of Emiliano Zapata and Francisco “Pancho” Villa took Mexico City. In the top image, Villa, Commander of the División del Norte, and Zapata, Commander of the Ejército Libertador del Sur, pose for a now famous photo inside the National Palace along with their generals and others. According to historians, Zapata insisted that Villa sit in the presidential throne.
A hundred years later, the struggle for a truly liberated Mexico continues.
One man's revolutionary is another man's freedom fighter.
These magnificent bastards don't need no stinkin' badges.
And of course my favorite Mexican of all time, Jefe, the number one of El Guapo. He missed his calling. He should have been a therapist.
