Back to EpisodesJuárez: From Orphan to President
Description
Benito Juárez, born in 1806, rose from humble beginnings to become Mexicos president and a champion of reform. Exiled during the War of Reform, he lived in New Orleans, leading his liberal government from afar and seeking international aid. Juárez signed the McLane-Ocampo treaty with the U.S., offering transit rights for aid, though it was never approved. He returned to lead Mexico, solidifying a modern state based on laws and equality. Juárezs legacy endures as a guide for justice and respect, inspiring Latino communities in the U.S. with his exile and resilience.
