Regarding this artwork, how does the Independence, Reform, Revolution Panel's The Mexican Revolution, (1910-21) incorporate the Francisco Ignacio Madero González (1873-1913) and José María Pino Suárez (1869-1913)?
Francisco Ignacio Madero González (1873-1913) and José María Pino Suárez (1869-1913) Madero and Suárez are located on the left side of the Independence, Reform, Revolution Panel. They were not born in Oaxaca and they have little direct association with the history of Oaxaca. However, Madero is an important figure in Mexican history because he challenged Porfirio Díaz in the 1910 election. Díaz declared himself victorious for an eighth term in what amounted to another rigged election. In 1911 Madero was elected in a landslide and sworn into office on 6 November 1911. Generals Félix Díaz (a Oaxacan nephew of Porfirio Díaz of Oaxaca), led a coup supported by United States ambassador Henry Lane Wilson. Madero was captured and assassinated along with vice-president Pino Suárez in a series of events now called the Ten Tragic Days, The ensuing chaos impacted Oaxaca as we will see below.
