Regarding Francisco I. Madero and José María Pino Suárez. These two extremely understated markers leave out the most important reason for their placement: Madero and Pino Suárez, the President and Vice-President of Mexico, were killed here by Huerta's followers as they were attempting to imprison them in the Lecumberri Prison. While the details have never been clear, this event was another spark that continued the long Mexican Revolution.
These markers and busts were placed on the 100th anniversary of their murders.
