Even today, in the fields of Mexico, some people say that Emiliano Zapata is still alive. That he can be seen riding his white horse through the mountains with his carbine 30-30 slung over his shoulder. The truth is Zapata does live there and in any other place where the peasants get together to discuss their problems, to organize the battle for their rights, to fight for the land they sow or to dream of a better life for themselves and their children. They made a mistake, those who murdered him on April 14th of 1919 in Chinameca. They couldn’t get rid of him altogether. Emiliano Zapata is still here, among us. No other hero in the history of Mexico, or its revolution, has the timeliness, the vitality, the importance that Emiliano Zapata has for us. His battle isn’t over. Our people want land and freedom. Wants to live in the place where they were born, where their ancestors were born, without misery and injustice forcing them to abandon their soil, their people, their customs. Emiliano Zapata is still trotting. He’s flag, standard, symbol, battle call and image that is repeated over and over on walls, shawls, t-shirts and the photos that accompany the protests and battles and dreams of the peasants, of the poor of Mexico and Latin America; those who want, who deserve, who fight for a better life. Epigmenio Ibarra México, DF, August 10, 2004 Estimados Educadores, Hay quien dice, todavía hoy, en el campo mexicano que Emiliano Zapata no ha muerto. Que se le mira cabalgar por las montañas en su caballo blanco y con su carabina 30-30. Lo cierto es que Zapata vive ahí, en cualquier lugar donde se reúnen los campesinos a discutir sus problemas, a organizarse para la lucha por sus derechos, a pelear por la tierra que trabajan o a soñar en una vida mejor para ellos y para sus hijos. Se equivocaron los que aquel 14 de abril de 1919 en Chinameca lo asesinaron. No pudieron matarlo del todo. Emiliano Zapata sigue aquí entre nosotros. Ningún héroe de la historia de México, de la Revolución mexicana, tiene la vigencia, la vitalidad, la importancia que tiene para nosotros Emiliano Zapata. Su lucha no ha terminado. Nuestra gente quiere tierra y libertad. Quiere poder vivir en el lugar en el que ha nacido, en el que nacieron sus antepasados sin que la miseria y la injusticia los obliguen a abandonar su tierra, su gente, sus costumbres. Emiliano Zapata no ha dejado de cabalgar. Es bandera, estandarte, símbolo, consigna, imagen que se repite en muros, mantas, camisetas, fotografías que acompaña las marchas y las luchas y los sueños de los campesinos, de los pobres de México y América Latina; esos que quieren, que merecen, que luchan por una vida mejor. Epigmenio Ibarra México, DF, a 10 de agosto de 200
