10 Quotes by Emiliano Zapata

Emiliano Zapata was a Mexican revolutionary leader and agrarian advocate who played a crucial role in the Mexican Revolution. He emerged as a prominent figure in the struggle against oppressive landowners and government corruption, leading the Zapatistas in their fight for agrarian reform and social justice. Zapata's rallying cry, "Tierra y Libertad" (Land and Liberty), reflected his commitment to redistributing land to the peasants who worked it.

His leadership and principles inspired indigenous communities and rural populations to rise against the inequalities of the time. Zapata's legacy as a symbol of resistance and the struggle for the rights of the marginalized continues to resonate with those fighting for social and economic justice.
