Battle of Juarez celebration

During the three days of May 9-11, 1911,  the revolutionary forces of Francisco Madero fought the decisive battle of Juarez against the diaz government. On the 11th, the treaty which deposed Porfirio Diaz was signed in the ex-aduana here in Juarez. So yesterday, there was a small celebration behind the building with dancers and various riders dressed as Madero, Villa and Orozco. The crowd was small but enthusiastic.  -david sokolec
