2. The Plan of San Luis Marker

The marker can be seen to the left along the building, to the right of an entryway. The building is known as the Palacio Monumental (The Monumental Palace).

. "The Plan of San Luis de Potosí (Plan de San Luis, in Spanish) was a political document written by presidential candidate Francisco I. Madero, who was jailed prior to the elections, and escaped to write the Plan. It was published on October 5, 1910. It called for nullifying the 1910 election of Porfirio Díaz, claimed a provisional presidency for Madero, and called for Mexicans to revolt on November 20, 1910."
Mexicans did revolt on November 20, thereby starting the Mexican Revolution. (Submitted on April 10, 2019, by J. Makali Bruton of Accra, Ghana.)
