The History
Emiliano Zapata grew up in Anenecuilco, Morelos, as village lands were being absorbed by large estates. He became a leading advocate for returning land to the people who worked it and helped formulate the Plan of Ayala in 1911. His Liberation Army of the South made agrarian reform one of the defining demands of the Mexican Revolution.
The Legacy
Zapata remains an international symbol of land, liberty, and the refusal to abandon ordinary people once power is within reach.
