EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of both fear and resilience during the tumultuous period known as La decena tragica in Mexico City, February 1913. The image showcases a group of courageous women walking through the streets under the protective cover of a white flag. Their determined expressions reveal their determination to navigate the dangerous environment that surrounds them. La decena tragica was marked by political upheaval, culminating in a coup d'état led by Victoriano Huerta and Felix Dias with the connivance of US ambassador Henry Lane Wilson. This event ultimately resulted in the tragic assassination of President Francisco I. Madero. The photo serves as a powerful reminder of the bravery exhibited by ordinary civilians amidst chaos and conflict. It symbolizes their unwavering spirit to confront adversity head-on, even when faced with great danger. With its stark contrast between light and shadow, this historical print captured by Agustin Victor Casasola transports us back to an era where Latin America was embroiled in internal strife. It stands as a testament to human strength and resilience, while also serving as an important visual document chronicling one chapter in Mexico's complex history. As we gaze upon this image today, it is impossible not to feel moved by these women who walked bravely through uncertain times under the sheltering embrace of a simple white flag – an enduring symbol of hope amidst turmoil.
