In the context of Oaxaca en la historia y en el mito, analyze the Benito Pablo Juárez García (1806-1872) of the Independence, Reform, Revolution Panel.
Former President, Benito Juárez, is the most prominent personality, at the top and middle of the panel. This is understandable since Oaxaca had become Oaxaca de Juárez after his death in 1872. The quotation beside his floating head translates as Respect for the rights of others is peace. The full version is "Entre los individuos, como entre las naciones, el respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz.” (In English: Between individuals as between nations, respect for the rights of others is peace.) Juárez wrote these words in a manifesto dated July 15, 1867, after Maximilian was defeated and executed at the end of the Second Mexican Empire.
