Monumental Men Exhibit
Chamizal National Memorial
The Monumental Men exhibit corresponds with the statue "Benito Juarez: Child to Man" located on the esplanade in front of the Cultural Center.
Created to provide additional insight into the statue "Benito Juarez: Child to Man", the Monumental Men exhibit offers the opportunity to learn more about the relationship and legacy of two great leaders: Abraham Lincoln and Benito Juarez. Contemporaries of each other, Benito Juarez and Abraham Lincoln both came from humble upbringings to lead their respective countries through difficult challenges and periods of growth. Each leader led their nation through wars of national identity, but were unable to bring a timely resolution to a newly emerging border dispute. A resolution to the Chamizal land tract would elude experienced diplomats for the next 100 years. Depite this, Lincoln and Juarez left behind enduring legacies and remain symbols of mutual respect between the United States and Mexico.
