Newsweek’s overseas edition picked up an old photograph of mine form Mexico. The final layout ended up using it as a cropped graphic element to divide up the page, but that’s life. The initial appeal for making the photograph was to remember the quote behind the statue. It’s one of my favorites, something that I come back to periodically. The caption follows along with the layout.
A pigeon covered statue of Benito Juarez –Mexico’s first, and only, full-blooded indigenous president –sits just off Tapachula’s main plaza. Inscribed behind the statue is Juarez’s most famous quote which reads: “Among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace.
