apr 10, 1919 - Emiliano Zapata's Assasination

Description:

“The land, only the land! The indian rose in arms in the fight to get back the land that the landlords had taken away.

Zapata, the southern leader, was a prophet of firm belief, his voice was the voice of the land, his voice was the voice of freedom.

You know the flag that I fly and my program is simple, he said land, liberty, and schools-- these are the peasant’s demands.

And if somehow we fail to receive that which has already been promised, we’ll rise up with our arms again, we’ll rise in rebellion once more.” (pg 59)
