Regarding The Anti-reelection Convention of April 1910. This marker and column memorializes the Mexican Anti-reelection Convention of April 15-17, 1910, where it was decided that Francisco I. Madero would contend with Porfirio Díaz for the presidency in the 1910 elections. The convention was held at the Tívoli de Eliseo, a garden and public meeting space, previously nearby this memorial but since removed due to new construction in the area.

The memorial is topped by a bust of Emilio Vázquez Gómez, an early opponent of Porfirio Díaz and his multiple reelections as President of Mexico. Vázquez Gómez was originally a supporter of Madero, however they soon split after Madero won the 1910 elections, with Vázquez Gómez soon leaving Mexico.
