On this day, 1 September 1911 during the Mexican revolution, peasant army leader Emiliano Zapata managed to escape from the military forces of Ambrosio Figueroa, the governor of Morelos. Troops, led by Federico Morales, arrived at Chinameca and stormed its front gate, but they failed to surround the property beforehand. So Zapata and many local residents who were fighting with him were able to slip out the back and escape through the sugarcane fields.
We recently released posters of this photograph of Zapata celebrating his 150th birthday to help fund our work: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/homeware/emiliano-zapata https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1201012873417194/?type=3
