Ricardo
and Enrique Flores Magon were Mexican brothers and anarchists who
played an instrumental role in fomenting the Mexican revolution
through the Partido Liberal Mexicano (PLM). The house on Fourth
Street served as the headquarters, and it is here that they produced
the bilingual newspaper, Regeneracion, dedicated to revolutionary
and anarchist thought. In addition, the PLM operated a house just
north of downtown on Yale that offered lodging and cultural activities
for workers known as La Casa del Obrero Internacional (The International
Workers’ Home). Because of their radical politics, the Magons
were persecuted by authorities and imprisoned in Texas. |
