Fun Times Mexico

Benito Juarez Day is celebrated as a national Mexican holiday in Mexico on every third Monday of March, that marks the birthday of the former president of Mexico, Benito Juarez. This day banks, schools, government offices and many businesses will be closed. A liberalist and a reformist, Juárez was born on March 21st, 1806. He grew up in a poor peasant household in the Sierra mountains of Oaxaca. Yet, despite his humble upbringing, Juárez went on to become a well-educated law...yer and later married Margarita Maza who was part of an upper-class family in Oaxaca City. He first became involved in state politics in Oaxaca and was the federal deputy of the Liberal party, which in 1846 had taken power throughout Mexico. From 1847 to 1848, Juárez became Oaxaca’s acting governor and during this time he built roads, public buildings and schools as well as curbed corruption. Juárez went on to become one of Mexico’s most celebrated presidents, serving five presidential terms between 1858 and 1872. He was also Mexico’s first indigenous president. The famed Mexican hero led the country during two civil wars; the War of the Reform and the French Intervention. He is remembered as a strong and diligent leader for resisting French occupation, overthrowing the Empire, restoring the republic, for modernizing the country, and for promoting indigenous people’s rights. Juárez is one of Mexico’s greatest heroes. As well as having a national Mexican holiday named in his honor, almost every Mexican city has a street named after him and he is pictured on the 20 pesos bill. The monument on the picture is dedicated to Benito Juárez in Mexico City.
