Zapatistas in Mexico City

Zapatistas in Mexico City
In 2001 members of the Zapatista National Liberation Army went to Mexico City to demand rights for indigenous peoples and petition the government to address indigenous issues such as poverty and discrimination. In this photograph, Zapatistas stand hand in hand waiting for the bus carrying Zapatista delegates. There faces are partially covered to hide their identities from government authorities.
