"Respect for the rights of others is peace.."

CHAMPION OF CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING
BELOVED PIONEER LEADER OF MEXICO

ANCESTOR

Benito Pablo Juárez García

1806-1872

" Between individuals, as between nations,

the RESPECT for the rights of others leads to PEACE".

Belonging to the Zapotec nation, he was the only indigenous leader to ever serve as President of Mexico for two terms: 1861-1863 & 1867-1872.

"El respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz"

In light of the current discontent and controversies over religion and civilisation.Thus being aware of his efforts to promote cultural literacy, I will celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of this Mexican leader Benito Juárez.

may the ancestors be pleased
