Benito Juarez Statue — 2002
The statue is a six foot-tall replica of Benito Juarez
of Oaxaca
(1806-1872), one of Mexico’s earliest presidents
and the only
one of full-blooded Indian ancestry. The
600-pound bronze
statue was a gift from the governor of
Oaxaca and Frente
Indigena Oaxaqueno Binacional, a
Fresno-based advocacy
group.
