¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Benito Juárez!
AKA Benito Pablo Juárez García.
Born March 21, 1806. Died July 18, 1872.
He was the first Mexican president of Indian blood and he was also known as the "Abraham Lincoln of Mexico" due to his efforts in the 1860s to free his country from French rule.
Apart from having a border town named after him, Juárez is rarely mentioned nowadays. It seems like the last American TV show to mention his name on a regular basis was The Wild, Wild West and that was in the 1960s.
