Ricardo

“Ricardo Flores Magón had been in the United States for six years, agitating for revolt. His followers, known as magonistas, had few resources. They were poor men and women, mostly miners, farmworkers, and cotton pickers, many of them displaced from Mexico when President Díaz gave their land to foreign investors.19 They wanted their land back and they were willing to fight for it. For challenging his rule, the Díaz administration dubbed them “malos Mexicanos” (bad Mexicans).”
